Hail, friend, and welcome. I’m James Grimmelmann, and this is my eponymous home page.
I’m an Associate Professor at New York Law School, where I’m affiliated with the Institute for Information Law and Policy. I study how the law governing the creation and use of computer software affects the distribution of wealth, power, and freedom in society. As a lawyer and technologist, I try to help these two groups speak intelligibly to each other. I teach intellectual property and Internet-related subjects.
What I’m Working On
Information Policy for the Library of Babel (forthcoming, Maryland Journal of Business and Technology Law) (draft)
The Structure of Search Engine Law (forthcoming, Iowa Law Review) (draft)
