Nearly 30 of the nation's leading cyberlaw thinkers will join Carnegie Mellon engineers and information scientists on February 7-8, 2002 for a two-day exploration of the social and legal impacts of new information technologies and architectures. We will explore: * What are the most obviously worrisome policy and and legal questions posed by new information technologies and and achitectures? * Do new technologies promise to solve any current policy or legal problems? * Who ought to resolve questions of questions of law and policy posed by new technologies? * What will change institutionally for our legal and policy making institutions as a result of new technologies? * Can scientists and engineers invent yet other technologies to solve the problems posed thus far by the telecommunications revolution? * In the current environment, how should lawyers advise companies trying to develop new technologies or governments seeking to cope with such technologies?
