The 6th Annual Privacy Law Scholars Conference
June 6-7, 2013
Hosted by the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology UC Berkeley School of Law and The George Washington University Law School will be holding the sixth annual Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) on June 6-7, 2013. The PLSC aims to assemble a wide array of privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss current issues and foster greater connections between academia and practice. It will bring together privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). Our goal is to enhance ties within the privacy law community and to facilitate dialogue between the different parts of that community (academy, government, industry, and public interest). At PLSC, papers workshops are led by a "commenter" who facilitates a discussion among participants on an author's paper. Authors are encouraged to participate in "listening" mode. There are no panels or talking head events at PLSC. The PLSC is an annual event, alternating between Berkeley and GW Law Schools. Participation is by invitation only. This year, PLSC has over 260 participants and we are no longer accepting registrations or requests for the waitlist. Organizers: Daniel J. Solove and Chris Hoofnagle Abstracts for PLSC were due Friday, January 11th, and paper drafts are due Friday, May 3rd. Keynote We are delighted to announce that United States Magistrate Judge Stephen W. Smith will deliver the keynote at PLSC. Judge Smith recently published Gagged, Sealed & Delivered: Reforming ECPA's Secret Docket in the Harvard Law & Policy Review.
