Dear Cyberspace Colleagues:
I am very pleased to announce that the 2020 Cyberspace Law Institute will be held on January 24-25, 2020 in Phoenix. We all are enjoying the summer heat now, and you’ll have the opportunity to get another taste of it in January (highs around 70) while getting caught up on the latest in cyberspace law and networking with your colleagues. More details will be shared soon, but it’s not too early to start thinking about potential CLE programs. Feel free to pitch ideas to committee program chair Ed Morse.
Right now, we are gearing up for the BLS Annual Meeting in Washington DC. If you have not yet done so, please register.
