[comp.society] WANTED: Organization that lobbies in field of computer law

simona%panix@cmcl2.nyu.edu (Simona Nass) (04/29/91)

I am interested in finding out about organizations that lobby in the
field of computer law (for protection of privacy, updating laws to handle
technological advances, etc.). I want to pursue this
as a career, perhaps after going to law school, and would like
some exposure, either as volunteer or employee. I prefer something
in NY city or nearby (NJ, CT), or any organization I can work with
remotely (via modem, phone or letter). Many thanks! -S.
