Texas Law Review Symposium 2010

Welcome to the Texas Law Review’s 2010 symposium: National Security, Privacy, and Technological Change. The event takes place from February 4th-6th at the University of Texas School of Law and promises to be one of the nation’s premier symposia. This year’s conference will address intelligence law and data collection, the legal environment pertaining to the government’s efforts to enhance cybersecurity, the prospects for technological solutions to difficult, national-security-related problems, and the role of the courts, Congress, and the media in these endeavors.  Highlights of the symposium include keynote speeches by Assistant Attorney General David Kris and Admiral Michael McConnell, former Director of National Intelligence.  Participants represent the full spectrum of perspectives on this debate, including government, private sector, academia, the civil liberties community, legislative, and judicial.  In addition, we anticipate broad media coverage by the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, NPR, the Atlantic, and other media outlets in attendance.
