Yossi Vardi to speak at Harvard Law School

1

Next week, on Tuesday, October 21, 2003, the Berkman Center is pleased to host Yossi Vardi, Principal of International Technologies Ventures and one of Israel’s leading venture capitalists, for his speech at Harvard Law School.  Mr. Vardi is widely regarded as a leading thinker about the role of technology in society.  His lecture will be held from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in Hauser Hall 104 at HLS.  Seating is limited, in particular because students enrolled in Prof. Nesson’s Digital Democracy will have priority spaces.  His speech is entitled, “The Edge against the Hub: The Struggle for Dominance on the Internet.”  He’ll be joined by Dr. James F. Moore, a Senior Fellow at the Berkman Center and the author of “The Second Superpower.”

Joseph Savrimuthu of the Liverpool Law School has a post that picks up on our discussion in Cyberlaw and the Global Economy of jurisdiction/power/brand in the global economy.  He concludes: ”Those who characterise the jurisdictional issues purely in terms of notions of judicial propriety, comity could be missing something of a phenomenon - as we move from the age of gunboats to that of bullets with bits and bytes.”
