[bestbits] Pear v. FBI - June 15th - Webcasted

[Carolina Rossini]

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Barbara Peisch <bpeisch at newseum.org>



On June 15, the Newseum Institute will present a special program in which
you, your colleagues and your students might have particular interest. The
issues involved in the Apple-FBI cellphone controversy will be argued in
front of a mock U.S. Supreme Court held at the Newseum as *Pear v. United
States*.

Experts in First Amendment law, cyber security, civil liberties and
national security issues will make up the eight-member court, and legal
teams will represent “Pear” and the government. The oral argument,
supported by written briefs, will focus on those issues likely to reach the
actual high court, from the power of the government to “compel speech” to
the privacy expectations of millions of mobile phone users.
