Bloggership at Harvard
Bloggership: How Blogs Are Transforming Legal Scholarship
April 28, 2006
Web logs (“blogs”) are transforming much of American society, including government, politics, journalism, and business. In the past few years, blogs have begun to affect the delivery of legal education, the production and dissemination of legal scholarship, and the practice of law. We are delighted that over twenty of the nation’s leading law professor bloggers have agreed to join with us for the first scholarly conference on the impact of blogs on the legal academy.
The conference will be held Friday, April 28, 2006 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
in the Ames Moot Courtroom on the second floor of Austin Hall at Harvard Law School. The conference is free and open to the public. We hope you will join us! If you are interested in the subject but cannot attend, the audio feed from the conference will be webcast and accessible from the Berkman Center’s home page at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu.

Professors Katsuya Tamai (U Tokyo), Coenraad Visser (U South Africa), Susy Frankel (Victoria U of Wellington)
Access to Knowledge at Yale
Access to Knowledge (A2K) Conference
April 21-23, 2006
Yale Law School
Information Society Project
In the digital era, most multinational corporations and policymakers are of the view that the current trend characterised by increasing intellectual property rights and corporate control over knowledge best serve society’s interests. At the same time, however, a growing number of commentators believe that widespread access to knowledge (A2K) and the preservation of a healthy knowledge commons are the real basis for sustainable human development. Nonetheless, intellectual property-based approaches continue to singlehandedly dictate global legal norms and shape national legal infrastructures.
The first goal of the Yale A2K Initiative is to come up with a new analytic framework for analysing the possibly distortive effects of public policies relying exclusively on intellectual property rights. Beyond this aim, the A2K initiative seeks to support the adoption and development of alternative ways to foster greater access to knowledge in the digitally connected environment.
The landmark A2K conference at Yale Law School will bring together leading thinkers and activists on access to knowledge policy from North and South, in order to generate concrete research agendas and policy solutions for the next decade. This conference will be among the first to synthesize the multifaceted and interdisciplinary aspects of access to knowledge, ranging from textbooks and telecommunications access to software and medicines. The A2K Conference aims to help build an intellectual framework that will protect access to knowledge both as the basis for sustainable human development and to safeguard human rights.
Con/texts of Invention at Case Western
Con/texts of Invention:
A working conference
20-22 April 2006
Cleveland, OH
Conference Program (forthcoming)
With support from the Department of English and the Center for Law, Technology, and the Arts at Case Western Reserve University School of Law; the History of Science Department at Harvard University; the Washington College of Law at American University; and the Morris Fishbein Center for the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Chicago
This conference interrogates the social and cultural construction of invention – the diverse ways in which invention has been conceptualized in the arts and sciences in the broadest sense, including literature, the fine arts, entertainment, the physical and life sciences, law, economics, medicine, engineering, agriculture, education, communications, computation, finance, and business. Emphasis will be on the institutional cultures, rhetorics, and histories of invention across these fields. In this way the Society seeks to extend and deepen the inquiry of its long-standing project on “Intellectual Property and the Construction of Authorship” (see www.cwru.edu/affil/sce/IPCA_main.html). Papers reflecting upon the impact of the “critique of authorship” will thus be especially welcome. The conference will include lectures and panel discussions; to facilitate discussion, papers selected for panels will circulate in advance of the conference.
