Privacy Law Scholars Conference : Berkeley Center for Law & Technology : June 2-3, 2011
The subject of privacy law has exploded over the past couple years, with discussion on the subject and what it means to both businesses and consumers. Because of that, this upcoming conference Berkeley Center for Law & Technology will be one worth watching. Their description:
Berkeley Law School and The George Washington University Law School will be holding the fourth annual Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) on June 2-3, 2011. The PLSC aims to assemble a wide array of privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss current issues and foster greater connections between academia and practice. It will bring together privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). Our goal is to enhance ties within the privacy law community and to facilitate dialogue between the different parts of that community (academy, government, industry, and public interest).
The PLSC is an annual event, alternating between Berkeley and GW Law Schools. Click below for the websites of:
