SPEAKER
Jennifer Granick - Director of Civil Liberties, Stanford Law School Center for
Internet and Society at Stanford University
Abstract
The American government is at a crossroads in its relationship with the people
it governs. Despite long-standing official denials, documents leaked to the
press by 29-year-old government contractor Edward Snowden show that the United
States has a vast domestic spying program in which it indiscriminately collects
information on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans in the name of
foreign intelligence and counterterrorism. These revelations impact our
domestic law and policy as well as commercial and international interests. In
this talk, Granick will review what we now know about government surveillance,
discuss the legality of these programs and discuss principles to help lawmakers
and the public understand and respond to mass surveillance.
Jennifer Granick is the Director of Civil Liberties at the Stanford Center for
Internet and Society. Jennifer returns to Stanford after working with the
internet boutique firm of Zwillgen PLLC. Before that, she was the Civil
Liberties Director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Jennifer practices,
speaks and writes about computer crime and security, electronic surveillance,
consumer privacy, data protection, copyright, trademark and the Digital

computer security field. She earned her law degree from University of
