Law.Gov is a national conversation about broader access to primary legal materials in the United States across all three branches of government and across the federal, state, and local governments. It is a series of workshops across the country that started in January at Stanford Law School and has continued on to major law schools, examining the implications of making the law more broadly available. The workshops have examined copyright restrictions, privacy implications, and the technical underpinnings necessary to provide authenticated access to bulk legal materials.

This workshop will be streamed live on the Internet, and video will be posted after the workshop on YouTube and the Internet Archive.

Please note that attendance on site is invitation-only as space is extremely limited. You will be able to observe the workshop via the webcast and Twitter streams.
