Reforming Internet Privacy Law Conference

When	Friday, December 4, 2009
Location	Wittemyer Courtroom
For	Public; Faculty; Staff; Students; Alumni; CLE Credit

The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) has led a working group of Internet Service Providers and privacy groups to draft an amendment to the federal Stored Communications Act, part of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The American Law Institute (ALI) recently abandoned a similar effort. Meanwhile, the Criminal Justice Standards working group of the American Bar Association (ABA) has met for two years to try to draft standards for government access to transactional information, which applies to tracking both online and offline. Representatives from these reform groups will describe the history, goals, and content of their proposals. This will be followed by two panels, the first on the need for reform, focusing on two topics, the privacy of stored communications and evidence of online behavior, and the second on the possibilities and prospects for reform in today's political climate.
