For those of you who are interested in the intersection of technology and law, which includes a lot of IP but also issues like privacy and censorship, there’s a great calendar and mailing list for events in NYC run by a group of law students at nycinfolaw.org. The events are often at law schools, but don’t be intimidated; you already know more about IP than most non-IP lawyers and law students, and you might bring a valuable outside perspective.
Full disclosure, I co-founded the NYU branch of the group as a law student, but I have no involvement with them now.
