About the Yale Law School Law and Media Program.
Yale Law School has a long history of focusing on the intersection of
law and media. Through its Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) and JD
programs, the School has produced many journalists and leaders in the
media industry. The Law School=92s Information Society Project,  founded
in 1997 to study the effects of new information technologies on law
and society, promotes access to knowledge,  freedom of speech, and
civil liberties in the United States and around the world. Other
centers,  programs and faculty research have focused on these topics
as well.

With generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation,  the Law and Media program builds on this history. The Law
and Media program is directed towards three groups: working
journalists who seek a deeper understanding of law, media, and policy;
Yale Law School students who plan to be journalists,  advocates for
journalists,  policy-makers or leaders in the media industry; and
scholars who study cutting-edge issues of law and media., For more
