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 0f 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 approximately three weeks prior to the colloquium. Please read the papers beforehand, in order to provide effective commentary.

Each presenter will have 90 minutes assigned for his or her paper. As a general guideline, this will be divided in half – 45 minutes for presentation, and 45 minutes for open discussion. However, presenters should feel free to structure their remarks in the most productive manner, and other participants are encouraged to comment or ask questions during the initial presentation. There is not a designated discussant for each paper; everyone should feel free to engage in the discussion.
