CIS and SLATA Launch Packets 1.1

The Center for Internet and Society’s Packets newsletter is a bi-monthly publication written by Stanford Law School students who are members of the Stanford Law And Technology Association (SLATA). CIS staff, fellows and volunteer attorneys edit Packets. Our purpose is to provide the legal community with concise descriptions of recently decided cyberlaw-related cases, and to point to the original decisions. We will distribute short summaries of the cases in the electronic version and host longer, more detailed summaries, as well as a keyword searchable archive of past Packets on the CIS website.

The writers on the Packets editorial board are: Carl G. Anderson, Rob Courtney, JuNelle Harris, Rachel Kovner, Todd Lewellen, Stephany Lin, Stephen Bruce Lindholm, Jia Liu, Grace Park, Ji-Hyun Park, Jef Pearlman, Kateryna Rakowsky, Neil A. Rubin, and Jim Sojoodi.
