The Law and Technology Student Society (LTSS) is the Centre for Law, Technology and Society and the Faculty of Law Common Law Section's official student-run club for law students who have an interest in technology law and policy. 

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!

Activities

Each fall the LTSS hosts an IP firm tour, which coincides with Ottawa IP firm recruitment. The LTSS also hosts panel discussions in October with Ottawa IP lawyers and past successful 1L/2L students to provide information on career opportunities in IP for law students.   Additionally, the LTSS hosts various social events throughout the year for students to network with fellow interested students and technology law professionals, as well as workshops focused on emerging legal technologies.

The LTSS also works with the University of Ottawa Centre for Law, Technology and Society (CLTS) to encourage students to take technology law courses and seek out research assistant positions with technology law professors on research projects.  

The LTSS is passionate about bridging the gap between technologists, lawyers and policymakers. Get involved with the LTSS today!
