Participate

The CMLP is not merely a clearinghouse of information. We want to serve as a catalyst for creative thinking about the intersection of law, journalism, and new media on the Internet. Through this website and occasional sponsored conferences, we hope to build a community of lawyers, academics, and others who are interested in facilitating citizen participation in online media and protecting the legal rights of those engaged in speech on the Internet.

The CMLP is only one part of a larger community of individuals and organizations working on these important issues.

If you would like to be become involved with the CMLP, you can do so in a number of ways.
