9th Annual CIPLIT Symposium & Niro Lecture

Cyberlaw 2.0: Legal Challenges of an Evolving Internet

October 15-16, 2009
DePaul Center 8005

Cyberlaw 2.0: Legal Challenges of an Evolving Internet brought together a group of distinguished scholars to contemplate the ramifications of new internet technologies and the changing role of the internet in society. These developments bring, as technological advances often do, both opportunities and risks. Correspondingly, cyberlaw doctrine now confronts challenges resulting from the increasing importance of social networking applications and cloud computing, the drive toward “personalization” of search, advertising, and other internet experiences, and, as life is lived more and more online, the related threats to private life caused by the potential to store more and more complete records of individuals’ experiences. Our speakers explored the ways in which Web 2.0 and beyond affects a wide spectrum of legal issues, ranging from privacy and freedom of expression through intellectual property.

The 12th Annual Niro Distinguished Intellectual Property Lecture and Luncheon was sponsored by Niro, Scavone, Haller & Niro. It was held on October 15, 2009 in conjunction with the Symposium. This year the lecture was given by Mark Lemley, Stanford Law School’s William H. Neukom Professor of Law.

For more information including Papers and Powerpoints from the lectures, a list of Featured Speakers, and the Symposium Schedule, please visit our Symposium Website.
