Intellectual Property and Changing Social Justice Needs

We're looking for our next team of student hosts.  If you're a rising 2L or 3L, have a lot of curiosity, want to meet amazing new people, and like the idea of inspiring your fellow students, we want to hear from you. Apply today.

Intellectual property is most often understood in terms of its economic value, but how do our current laws affect everyday creators and innovators? Meg Steenburgh welcomes Professor Jessica Silbey to discuss current issues in IP law and how the mindsets and expectations of younger generations seem to be at odds with the broad scope of many of these laws. They also discuss Professor Silbey’s expertise in film and its evolving uses as a legal tool.

Professor Jessica Silbey is a Professor of Law at Boston University School of Law where she teaches and writes in the areas of intellectual property, constitutional law, and law and the humanities.
