Free Classes on Online Dispute Resolution and Copyright in State of Play Academy!
State of Play Academy, New York Law School's new virtual world law teaching academy, beta launches this week. Building on the experience of the State of Play conference that has brought together technologists, lawyers, social scientists and other professionals to discuss the implications of virtual worlds, State of Play Academy continues that inter-disciplinary conversation online and throughout the year.
Our aim is to: 1) democratize law teaching by making it available to an open audience; and 2) understand how teaching and learning can most effectively be done within a three-dimensional, immersive and social online environment like a virtual world.
We're having 45-minute 'test' classes each Tuesday and Thursday. Please join us!
