The emerging disciplines of Information Technology, Media and Communications Law are among the most dynamic and exciting legal developments in recent years. LSE Law is at the leading edge of these fields. We have a team of experts researching a variety of aspects within these subjects ranging from Internet governance and regulation, electronic contracting, regulation of Internet content and copyright, through to universal service provisions, network regulation and telecommunications regulation within developing markets. LSE Law collaborates closely with the Media@LSE research centre, which is a focus for interdisciplinary research within the fields of telecommunications, media and new media and boasts a team of internationally renowned scholars drawn from the Law, Information Systems, Sociology and Social Policy, Economics and Government Departments, and from the Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation. This inter-disciplinary research group runs a range of seminars for graduate students and draws upon a wide range of speakers from both sides of the regulatory divide to provide contemporary insights into the fast-changing regulatory structures in these subject areas. LLM students are welcome to attend these informal and informative seminars.
