About the Symposium
The emergence of our Information Society over the last twenty years has generated a burgeoning academic literature and wide-ranging theoretical debate about the legal challenges that information technologies pose for society. In general, the debate and the literature have focused on specific areas such as privacy or intellectual property. This symposium seeks to make a broad examination across a range of related areas that will have both topical relevance and enduring merit. The symposium will bring together the leading academic scholars to consider key topics of information law and policy in the context of societal values. This approach will make a major contribution to our understanding of the role that public values play in the law for the Information Society.
