The Center for Internet and Society (CIS) is a public interest technology law and policy program at Stanford Law School that brings together scholars, academics, legislators, students, programmers, security researchers, and scientists to study the interaction of new technologies and the law and to examine how the synergy between the two can either promote or harm public goods like free speech, innovation, privacy, public commons, diversity, and scientific inquiry. The award supports a new initiative at CIS focused on strengthening the Fourth Amendment in the digital age. Through the initiative, CIS is producing interdisciplinary research that supports the work of impact litigators focused on the Fourth Amendment and convening a series of iterative, strategic workshops to establish stronger working alliances between impact litigators and leading academics from law, computer science and the social sciences that are focused on the impact of new and emerging technologies on privacy and surveillance.
In support of the Class of 1999 Student Matching Fund and the Carl and Sheila Spaeth Professorship Fund.
