Preferred term

Lawrence Lessig  

Definition

  • 1961– Cyberlaw Expert, Author Lawrence Lessig is an important figure in defining the scope of cyberspace law as an author, legal adviser, and law professor, and has been at or near the center of most of the key cyberlaw cases of the young Digital Age. He has been dubbed both “a James Madison of our time” and “the Paul Revere of the Web.” His singular analysis and understanding of cyberspace's legal complications (and hence of cyberspace governance), and the warnings that he has issued as a result, earned him both labels. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Lessig, Lawrence]
