[bestbits] IGF- Lightening Session

[hj101 at columbia.edu]

Dear All,

We are very excited to announce that we will be presenting a “lightening
session” at the IGF TODAY, Tuesday December 6th at 1:00!

Please join Columbia Global Freedom of Expression for a demo of our
international case law database. Information on the lightening session is
available here.

The Global Freedom of Expression Case Law Database hosts nearly 800 case
analyses of seminal court cases pertaining to freedom of expression from 110
countries. They include recent judicial decisions as well as those that are
precedent-setting. The database is ever-growing with 20 to 30 new analyses
added every month.

The platform also offers blogs, publications and reviews of legal developments
on freedom of expression and information around the world. It is designed to
be a key resource for a broad audience of stakeholders working on freedom of
expression, including lawyers, judges, activists, academics and students.

If you cannot make it to the session, please visit our booth in the IGF
village!
Hope to see you soon,
Hawley and Amalie
