Information Society Project
- Information Society Project
The Information Society Project (ISP) at Yale Law School is an intellectual center studying the implications of the Internet and new information technologies for law and society. The ISP was founded in 1997 by Jack Balkin, Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School.
The Yale ISP faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, and law school student fellows engage in research, education, and social activism geared toward promoting global access to knowledge, advocating democratic values in the information society, and protecting and expanding civil liberties in the information age. The research center has contributed to the development of the Access to Knowledge social movement, which aims to build an intellectual framework that will protect access to knowledge both as the basis for sustainable human development and to safeguard human rights. ISP-led courses, projects, a weekly speaker series, and workshops integrate Yale law students into the exploration of new problems in collaboration with departments across the Yale campus. The ISP also provides advice and education to policy makers, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, and the global legal community. International conferences organized by the ISP have addressed topics like [http://research.yale.edu/isp/eventsa2k2.html Access to Knowledge] , [http://islandia.law.yale.edu/isp/digital_cops.htm Cybercrime] , [http://research.yale.edu/isp/eventsosis.html Open ICT Standards] , [http://islandia.law.yale.edu/isp/GlobalFlow/index.html Globalization and Information Flow] , and [http://islandia.law.yale.edu/isp/regulatingsearch.html Search Engine Law] .
