The Yale Law Journal Pocket Part is soliciting essays and commentaries on the role of law, policy, and extralegal tactics in regulating instances of cyber bullying, including defamatory “Google bombing.” How, if at all, should regulatory schemes address providers of information who make no endorsement of the information’s content?
Pieces submitted should be timely, yet they should also address the existing literature on the subject, especially as it relates to the First Amendment and current laws regulating electronic information and communication.
Submissions should be no more than 1,500 words. We encourage authors to write in a style accessible to policy-makers and practitioners. For a detailed style guide and instructions for submitting your piece, please visit our website, www.thepocketpart.org, and follow the link for “Submissions.”
The deadline for submissions is Friday Friday, May 4, 2007.
The announcement is available in .pdf format here. Hat tip: Professor and Volokh Conspirator Orin Kerr.
