Good schools for internet law? Forum

[sapapple]

I work in digital media and am looking into going to law school in next couple of years with the intention of studying cyber/internet law. I'm specifically interested in the legal issues surrounding online privacy, data mining, digital copyrights, etc. Does anyone know of schools that have particularly good reputations or clinics in this area, or should I just shoot for the best school I can get into?

Four of the best schools in this area are also four of the best law schools in the country -- Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, and Columbia. In any event, general consensus says to go to the best school you can get into.

Yale, while an amazing school, is not as strong as the aforementioned schools in cyberlaw. And note that I said "of the best" rather than "the best."

Go to Yale if you can and make good friends with the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). Very, very good friends.

1) Get into HLS.
2) RA for Lawrence Lessig.
3) That is the closest you'll ever get to actually practicing "cyberlaw" yourself, so enjoy.

OP wants to be part of the Cyberpolice. Be part of those making sure consequences will never be the same.

If that's the case, JD -> FBI wouldn't be a bad idea. He'll prob. get paid shit.

I guessed that would be referenced by the fourth reply. I was two off, and I expected better delivery.
