As our lives become increasingly digitized, technology law becomes more and more relevant. From the intersections of artificial intelligence (AI) and labour, data storage and privacy, machine learning and copyright, access to information and human rights, and everything in between, technology law is an exciting and evolving field.
The Law and Technology Student Society (LTSS) was founded at the Faculty of Law, Common Law Sector in 2003, and is comprised of a community of students with a common interest in law and technology-related issues, such as intellectual property, telecommunications and broadcasting, pharmaceuticals, privacy law, biotechnology, human rights, data security, AI, robotics, virtual reality, and more. We aim to educate students on these topics, facilitate connections between students and professors in the law and technology area, and provide the larger body of law students with opportunities to keep up to date on new developments in law and technology.
LTSS Membership is open to all full-time and part-time students in any program in the Faculty of Law, Common Law Section at the University of Ottawa. We welcome all who are interested in the many intersections of law and technology and how technology shapes law, the legal community, and society more generally to become a member or join us throughout the year for events!
