Liberating Legal Information: The Law.Gov Movement
A Panel Discussion with Carl Malamud, Helen Nissenbaum, and Nicholas Bramble
February 24, 2009
6:15-8pm
New York Law School
Room A700

In 2009, President Obama's Open Government Initiative led to the launch of
Data.Gov, an online forum where the public may easily find, download, and
use Federal agency datasets.  Through Data.Gov, the administration seeks to
expand creative use of the data and encourage innovation beyond the walls of
government.

Law.Gov builds on the success of Data.Gov by documenting what is necessary
to establish a distributed registry and repository of all United States
legal materials.  Public.Resource.Org is leading this revolutionary effort
to collect briefs and opinions from the Judiciary; reports, hearings, and
laws from the Legislative branch; and regulations, audits, grants, and other
materials from the Executive.

Join the IILP as we welcome Internet pioneer Carl Malamud, President and
Founder of Public.Resource.Org, to discuss the Law.Gov movement and it's
opportunities for citizens to help change the way we distribute America's
Operating System.  He will be joined by distinguished Information Law
scholars Helen Nissenbaum and Nicholas Bramble.

This event is open to the public.  *Please RSVP to Naomi Allen at
naomi.allen at nyls.edu*.
