[NYCInfoLaw] RG at NYU on Thursday, 4/22

[David Wake]

Infolaw Reading Group at NYU!

Next week, NYU will be hosting the reading group for the last time this
year. We've picked a topic this week that will hopefully get some new
conversations started. We're questioning what extent the First Amendment
protects private video and photography in public. We've picked out one
academic article on the topic and several short readings.

When: Thursday, April 22 at 7:00 pm
Where: NYU's Furman Hall, room 110

Topic: Cell Phone Cameras under the First Amendment

Readings:

Seth F. Kreimer, Pervasive Image Capture and the First Amendment: Memory,
Discourse and the Right to Record,
