OVERVIEW
Telecommunications, mass media, and the Internet represent not only
significant forces in the economy, but also important influences on
culture and society. Rapid change in the communications and media
worlds is provoking significant re-evaluation of legal and public
policy regimes. The Wharton Colloquium on Media and Communications
Law (CMCL) brings together a small but diverse group of scholars in
these converging fields to present and discuss research work in
progress.

LOCATION
Dept. of Legal Studies & Business Ethics
The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
6th Floor, Jon M. Huntsman Hall
3730 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
[MAP]
For those staying at the Inn at Penn, Huntsman Hall is approximately
one block away on Walnut Street.
Please note: On Saturday morning, you must use the Locust Walk
entrance, at the rear of the building. We must all sign in with
security in the lobby before proceeding up to the 6th floor, so
please try to come on time.
FORMAT
The goal of the meeting is to provide meaningful feedback for
paper presenters, from a variety of perspectives. I have deliberately
invited discussants from industry as well as various academic
disciplines, reflecting the breadth and business relevance
of this field. All participants will receive copies of the
papers prior to the colloquium. Please read
them beforehand, in order to provide effective commentary.
Each presenter will have 60 minutes assigned for his or her
paper. As a general guideline, presenters should plan to use
the first 15 minutes to introduce their paper and queue up
areas where feedback would be particularly valuable, with the
remaining 45 minutes set aside for discussion. Powerpoint or
other formal presentation materials are discouraged, unless
visual illustrations are particularly useful for the material.
There is not a designated discussant for each paper; everyone
should feel free to engage in the conversation.
