NYC Information Law began as a joint project between the Columbia Law
School Society for Law, Science and Technology and the NYU Law School
InfoLaw Student Association. Today, its membership includes similar
groups from nearly all NYC schools dedicated to the intersection
between intellectual property, technology, privacy, communications,
and the law. Our website is a compendium of news and New York City
events of interest to the members of nycinfolaw.org.  If you have a
calendar item you think we should add, please contact
