A National Symposium on Law and Technology

A National Symposium on Law and Technology is a collaborative event organized by the Stanford Constitutional Law Center, the Federalist Society, and the Stanford Student Chapter. This symposium brings together leaders from the technology industry and the legal profession to explore the evolving intersection of law and technology.

The symposium covers key topics such as the impact of Big Tech on market competition, free speech, and privacy. Sessions include discussions on regulation as an opportunity, privacy for and from the digital person, antitrust in the age of trillion-dollar companies, and speech-policing in the virtual town square.

Attendees have the opportunity to engage in networking sessions, attend a dinner banquet, and hear from notable speakers, including a keynote address by Peter Thiel, Co-Founder of PayPal and Partner at Founders Fund. The event also features panel discussions with experts like A. Douglas Melamed, Professor at Stanford Law School, and Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase.

This symposium is ideal for legal professionals, policymakers, technologists, and academics interested in understanding how law and public policy should adapt to the challenges posed by Big Tech platforms. Participants will gain diverse perspectives and a nuanced understanding of the legal implications in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
