INFORMATION LAW EVENTS

          “WHAT IS AN IP LAWYER?”
          NOVEMBER 16, 2009 @ 4 PM
          ROOM 210, VANDERBILT HALL, NYU LAW, 40 WASHINGTON SQ. SOUTH
          Intellectual Property attorneys from Baker Botts will discuss the
          different areas of IP law and will share with students their
          experiences in the legal profession. In this increasingly
          technological age, IP has come to the foreground as an important and
          dynamic area of practice. The study of this field opens doors to a
          wide range of career opportunities, even in the face of this harsh
          economic environment. Light Refreshments will be provided.

          NET NEUTRALITY DEBATE COMES TO NYC
          NOVEMBER 17, 2009 @ 7 PM
          IAC BUILDING, 555 W 18TH ST (b/w 10th Ave. and the Westside Highway)
          The key players on both sides of the Net Neutrality issue
          will go head-to-head in a competitive Oxford-Style Debate
          Tuesday evening. This is a big issue that is heating up in
          Washington and will have a significant impact on the future
          of the Internet. For details, link here:

          COUNCIL TECH COMMITTEE HEARING: OPEN THE INTERNET
          NOVEMBER 20, 2009 @ 10 AM
          COMMITTEE ROOM, CITY HALL
          The New York City Council Committee on Technology in Government
          will hold a public hearing regarding the Federal Communications
          Commission's (FCC) six principles of Net Neutrality.  This hearing
          seeks to gain insight into these principles, which the FCC seeks to
          codify. The November 20 hearing will assess whether the Net
          Neutrality principles as articulated would effectively obtain the
          goal of maintaining a free and open Internet.  Also, the
          hearing serves as an opportunity to examine pending Resolution
          712A-2007, which asks the FCC and Congress to set firm Net
          Neutrality regulations. You can view the resolution at
          http://bit.ly/netneutralityreso. For more information, see
