SUSAN P. CRAWFORD
Susan Crawford is Assistant Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School, teaching cyberlaw and intellectual property law. Ms. Crawford received her B.A. (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and J.D. from Yale University. She served as a clerk for Judge Raymond J. Dearie of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and was a partner at Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering (Washington, D.C.) until the end of 2002, when she left that firm to enter the legal academy.
Susan’s practice was focused on Internet law and policy issues, including governance, privacy, intellectual property, advertising, and defamation. She represented major online companies, startups, and joint ventures, and worked particularly closely with companies doing business in the domain name world. From 1996-1998, she taught copyright as an adjunct professor at the Georgetown Law Center, and she has spoken and written frequently about online legal issues.
Susan writes about digital copyright issues and internet governance. Her article, "The Biology of the Broadcast Flag" was published in the Hastings Communications and Entertainment Law Journal in late 2003. Upcoming pieces will be about online identity ("Who's In Charge of Who I Am," to be published in an NYU Press book), FCC jurisdiction ("Shortness of Vision: Regulatory Ambition in the Digital Age," to be published in law review form), and other digital policy issues. She has also published many online essays about ICANN (most co-authored with David R. Johnson), and maintains a website and blog at www.scrawford.net.
Susan is the Chair of the Board of Directors of Innovation Network (www.innonet.org), a member of the Board of Directors of Greenwood Music Camp, and a member of the advisory boards of Public Knowledge, SquareTrade, Renovation in Music Education, Voxiva, and other groups.
