The Information Society Project at Yale Law School seeks applications for

fellowships for recent graduates of law and graduate programs interested in
careers in teaching and public policy.  It maintains a network of global
fellows and partnerships with institutions in many different countries
around the world. Its signature initiative in recent years has been the
promotion of Access to Knowledge.  The ISP has also maintained research
initiatives in biotechnology, computer security, privacy, freedom of speech,
civil liberties and democracy both in the United States and around the
world.  It holds conferences, reading groups and seminars and produces
research on the key issues and challenges of the Information Society.
