CLIP has successfully institutionalized a research program that offers opportunities for students and post-graduate fellows to engage in scholarly and policy-focused publishable work in close collaboration with faculty and CLIP staff. Ongoing Research ProjectsSurvey of CDA 230CLIP is preparing a “Survey of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.” The report will review the history of legislation and will evaluate the case law and major articles that address Section 230. The survey will identify the trends that have developed both supporting and critiquing the legislation and judicial interpretations of the statute. The research team for the study is led by Professor Joel R. Reidenberg and CLIP Executive Director Jamela Debelak, who are assisted by CLIP Dean’s Fellow Jordon Kovnot (’11) and Fordham Law student, Tiffany Miao ('13).Cyberthreats to National and Economic SecurityCybersecurity poses major problems for both the government and the private sector. Public-private partnerships, where companies work with each other as well as with the government, are needed in order to achieve greater cybersecurity for public safety and national economic interests while protecting citizens’ rights. During the 2011/12 academic year, CLIP will undertake a research and policy project to address the issues of cooperation through a series of white papers, activities and programs. |
