The Society for Law, Science, and Technology (SLST) is now accepting applications for 1L Representative positions. All interested students are invited to submit a statement not longer than 300 words expressing interest in the organization and reasons for seeking board membership. These statements may include event suggestions for the club. All applications should be submitted to slst-eboard@columbia.edu by 5 p.m. on Friday, October 3rd.

SLST brings students together to discuss current legal issues involving science, technology and relevant job opportunities. The group isn’t just for former science majors: it’s for anyone interested.  We host panels and events focusing on how technology and science affect the legal framework in which we live and vice-versa (e.g. Internet privacy issues). This semester, we are hoping to have events on the following topics: biotechnology patents and healthcare access; civil liberties online; an introduction to the Free Culture movement; and careers in intellectual property and technology law. We also regularly co-host an Information Law reading group with NYU Law students.

1L Representatives are responsible for attending SLST’s Board meetings and helping Board members organize events.

Please note that you do not need to be a board member to participate in any of SLST’s meetings or events. We are always looking for more event ideas and are happy to work with anyone who wants to see an idea through. To become a general member of the club (and join the club’s mailing list), please email kate.vershov@gmail.com.

Our first reading group meeting will be on Wednesday, October 1st at NYU at 6:30pm.  One of my previous posts goes more into detail on that.
