The four pieces that follow are the product of an essay contest co-sponsored by the Yale Journal of Law and Technology and the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy 2008 Conference hosted by Yale Law School on May 20-23, 2008. The theme of the contest, “Technology 2008” was selected to generate discussion on the issues that the new presidential administration would likely face, and to suggest potential solutions for those challenges. The authors of the selected pieces were invited to discuss their work at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference. The Yale Journal of Law and Technology is proud to present the four selected essays.
