To help with sorting post-wiki, the format of each post is subject (book, conference, faculty), name (person responsible for event, book, etc) and then the substance of the post.  This is not the final format for the timeline - it is just in this form now as we're collecting the info, and we'll be dolling it up later!  Thanks!

First Internet and Society Seminar offered at Harvard Law School.  Taught by Professors Charles Nesson and Arthur Miller, and led by Teaching Assistants David Marglin '96 and Tom Smuts '96, this class saw John Perry Barlow, the Microsoft anti-trust dispute, the Lotus-Borland copyright dispute, government speakers, CEOs, and a host of Harvard professors engage in debate about the Internet and its impact on law, politics, finance, business, society, and more.  From these seminars grew the first Harvard Conference on the Internet & Society in 1996, and, of course, the Berkman Center itself.

Click the "edit" link next to the month in which you want to add an event and follow the format of the other entries to make additions.


To help with sorting post-wiki, the format of each post is subject (book, conference, faculty), name (person responsible for event, book, etc) and then the substance of the post. This is not the final format for the timeline - it is just in this form now as we're collecting the info, and we'll be dolling it up later! Thanks!

Future Berkman fellow John Perry Barlow's 1994 essay in Wired Magazine "The Economy of Ideas: A framework for patents and copyrights in the Digital Age," piques interest on the Harvard Law School campus. Professors Charles Nesson and Arthur Miller begin collaboration and their first forays (with colleague Prof. Terry Fisher) in Cyberlaw.

First Internet and Society Seminar offered at Harvard Law School. Taught by Professors Charles Nesson and Arthur Miller, and led by Teaching Assistants David Marglin '96 and Tom Smuts '96, this class saw John Perry Barlow, the Microsoft anti-trust dispute, the Lotus-Borland copyright dispute, government speakers, CEOs, and a host of Harvard professors engage in debate about the Internet and its impact on law, politics, finance, business, society, and more. From these seminars grew the first Harvard Conference on the Internet & Society in 1996, and, of course, the Berkman Center itself.
