I’m a lawyer whose expertise is in cyberlaw and the First Amendment. I served as Free Press’s first lawyer in Washington, DC. I’m probably most well-known for quarterbacking the Free Press-Comcast case at the FCC, when Comcast interfered with BitTorrent and other peer-to-peer protocols. The case ended up being a major network neutrality victory.
I now continue to advise Free Press but teach law full-time as tenure-track faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. At Nebraska, I help lead a JD/LLM program in Space & Telecom law (nearby, US Strategic Command has a Space Command and a Cyber Command regarding high-tech warfare). I teach cyberlaw (including cyberwarfare) and domestic and international telecom law.
I’m a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations and also involved with the American Constitution Society.
I’ve had the good fortune of learning from some of the great cyberlaw professors, both in law school at Harvard and then on fellowships at Yale and Georgetown law schools. My interest in the issue began in college, at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
I am from Michigan. Today, I can usually be found in Washington, DC or Lincoln, Nebraska.
