Section of Science & Technology Law
About the Section
The Section of Science & Technology Law was formed in 1974 to provide a forum for addressing issues at the intersection of law, science, and technology. Since then, the Section has grown to become a focal point for information and policy on many important issues, such as computer and information security law, privacy, cybercrime, scientific evidence, genetic research and engineering, biotechnology and nanotechnology. Gilbert F. Whittemore is the current Chair of the Section of Science & Technology Law.
