The New Hampshire Rebellion: Forcing DC Corrupting Reform
Start your first week of classes with a lecture at the Rockefeller Center this Thursday from 4:30-6:00 pm!
Lawrence Lessig will be giving a lecture entitled "The New Hampshire Rebellion" to explore how, as the state with the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, New Hampshire holds the key to forcing corruption reform on DC-if its citizens can be mobilized to act. He will focus on the movement that has just that aim: the New Hampshire Rebellion.
Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School. He is also the director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University, and founder of Rootstrikers, a network of activists leading the fight against government corruption. He has authored numerous books, including Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Our Congress-and a Plan to Stop It, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Free Culture, and Remix. He is a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Association, and has received numerous awards, including the Free Software Foundation's Freedom Award, Fastcase 50 Award and being named one of Scientific American's Top 50 Visionaries. He also clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court.
