Professor Finds Her Legacy in Internet Law

CYBER LAW JOURNAL
By CARL S. KAPLAN

When the Electronic Privacy Information Center, an advocacy group based in
Washington that loudly campaigns for Internet privacy and civil liberties,
announced it had received a $1 million gift a few weeks ago, the money
didn't come from a large corporation or private foundation. It came from
someone who usually receives grants -- a law school professor.

But then again, Pamela Samuelson is not just any professor. A leading
cyberlaw expert and intellectual property scholar at the University of
California at Berkeley, she is using her personal wealth to promote the
public interest in the Internet legal battles now being waged in courts,
legislatures and administrative agencies across the country.
