Call for papers
This year’s theme is Playing to Win: Property, Technology, and the Creative Future.
Possible sub-themes include, but are not limited to: What is the role of law in ensuring that creative and technological advances will serve the public interest? How do we address technologies that threaten harm to human rights, civil rights, personal privacy, or social well- being? When does intellectual property law encourage innovation, and when does it have the opposite effect? What happens when incentives collide, pitting one interest group against another? How does the law address technologies that know no borders? What are the roles of creators, educators, critics, and policy-makers in helping us to navigate these challenges?
In keeping with this broad umbrella, we invite papers on a wide variety of topics exploring legal issues pertaining to intellectual property, communications, and related areas.
Please submit your abstract to law.unlv.edu/cicl-call-papers. Abstracts will be reviewed by the CICL consortium on a rolling basis.
For fullest consideration, please submit your abstract by March 18, 2019.
