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.
