The Columbia Law School Society for Law, Science and Technology (SLST) is a student group which promotes discussion of technology and its influence on law and social policy.

The SLST organizes various events, like speaker panels and lectures, which bring interesting thinkers on technology law to Columbia. SLST is also a way for CLS students interested in science and technology to meet.

Our topics of interest include the Internet, telecommunications, biotechnology, computer law and intellectual property, and we often go farther afield into cutting edge areas like law in video games and virtual worlds. We also hold events and present other opportunities to learn about internships and careers in technology law. While the field is sometimes known as cyberlaw or information law, our aim is to be broad and inclusive: we try not to be restricted by labels. Also, the majority of SLST members do NOT have degrees in science or engineering!

SLST is a founding member of nycinfolaw.org, an alliance between the tech law societies at the other New York City law schools to collaborate and share information and events through the tech law community in New York City. Our reading groups are held jointly with other law schools and provide an opportunity for CLS students to get to know other students with similar interests at other City law schools.
