Cardozo Arts and Entertainment Law Journal Symposium

Cardozo Arts and Entertainment Law Panel: Balancing Free Speech and National Security in the Digital Age

Please join us in the Moot Court Room at Cardozo School of Law for "Balancing Free Speech and National Security in the Digital Age. " The symposium will cover how we can balance free speech and national security in the digital age. Panelists will discuss whether and how national security goals conflict with free speech principles in an era of vertically integrated platform communications, heightened geopolitical competition, and expanding executive authority. There will be one panel for the event.

This program is approved for 2.0 transitional/non-transitional New York State CLE credits in the category “Areas of Professional Practice.” To receive CLE credits for this event, you must attend the program “live.” We cannot award CLE credits for watching a recorded version of any part of this program.

Timed agenda: Monday, March 16, 10:30 AM-12:30 PM panel. There will be a breakfast reception prior to the event and a lunch reception after.

The Symposium will be available on Zoom.
