Be our 2013 Google Policy Fellow!

CIPPIC is pleased to announce that, for the fifth year in a row, we will be hosting a Google Policy Fellow this summer. The Google Policy Fellow will join our Summer Internship Program and work closely with CIPPIC staff on a range of dynamic, cutting edge law & technology issues as we seek to further our mandate. This mandate regularly takes us before various policy- and law-making forums, including parliamentary committees, regulatory bodies, all levels of court and various international fora as we seek to advocate in the public interest on issues arising at the intersection of law and technology. It additionally includes a public education and engagement component, as we seek to ensure the public is aware of issues that may effect their daily digital lives. Substantively, CIPPIC advocacy covers a diverse range of digital rights/policy issues, including copyright, privacy/electronic surveillance, telecommunications regulation/net neutrality, online consumer protection, online speech, access to knowledge and more general Internet governance concerns.

We involve our interns and policy fellows in all elements of our work. In addition, the policy fellow will enjoy our Summer Speaker Series, which brings leading experts in Canadian law & technology fields in to discuss various pressing issues with our students in a closed environment. See our annual bulletin for a list of past speakers, as well as a description of some of our recent work. Applications are due Friday, March 15, 2013. To apply, visit Google's Policy Fellowship interface. The fellowship will run from May 6 - July 15, 2013 (10 weeks), and is open to any law students or law graduate students.
