CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION

This annual program seeks to advance social justice with sessions that highlight social justice concerns in emerging IP issues. Through this, IIPSJ strives to stimulate practical and scholarly discourse on questions of disparity in access to and use of information technology—and problems of institutionalized racial and economic inequity—related to intellectual property.
