With his "Hack the Casebook" project, Jonathan Zittrain is working to revolutionize the way law students relate to the cases they analyze.  By putting cases online, Professor Zittrain not only reduces the cost of law school casebooks, he opens up new possibilities for teaching and learning, both inside the classroom and beyond.

He co-founded the Berkman Center for Internet & Society.  Zittrain's research includes digital property, privacy, and speech, and the roles played by private intermediaries in Internet architecture. He has a strong interest in creative, useful, and unobtrusive ways to deploy technology in the classroom. He serves on the boards of directors of the Internet Society and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
