ISP fellows traveled to New Haven from as far as Brazil, Europe, and Israel to celebrate this first-of-its-kind reunion of Yale ISP alumni and affiliates. The ISP was founded in 1997 by Jack Balkin, Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment at Yale Law School, to address the implications of the Internet and new information technologies on law and society and to engage in scholarship and activities that promote democratic values online. Since that time, the ISP has produced ten years’ worth of brilliant scholars and activists who have made a mark on law and technology areas ranging from cyberlaw and civil liberties online to biotechnology and intellectual property law.
