2L Jenny Cowan and 3L Evan Groder Present Papers at the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s Annual Conference

2L Jenny Cowan and 3L Evan Groder presented papers in the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC) Annual Conference in the Law and Policy Division.

Cowan’s paper is titled “UPEPA: A Path Toward SLAPP Protection in Federal Court” and Groder’s is titled “A Not So Common Carriage:  Issues with Ascribing Common Carrier Status to Social Media Platforms.” Both students were advised by Professor Roy Gutterman L’00 in the submission process.

In addition, Gutterman moderated the “High-Density Refereed Research Paper Session.”

The Law and Policy division accepts a fraction of the papers that are submitted by communications law professors and students for presentation at the annual conference.

“It is really rewarding to have our student work compete at the national and international level with other top media law scholars and students.  This is really impressive,” says Gutterman.
