NYLS Panel on 2/24
Carl Malamud <carl+goo...(a)resource.org>

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.al...(a)nyls.edu.
