Right to privacy topic of Preiskel-Silverman Lecture
Martha Barnett, a partner at the law firm of Holland & Knight, LLP, will give the Preiskel-Silverman Lecture at the Law School on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
The lecture, titled "Terrorism, Technology and the Changing Reality of Personal Privacy," will begin at 4:30 p.m. in Rm. 127 of the Sterling Law Buildings, 127 Wall St. The event is free and open to the public.
Barnett's talk will consider "the impact that technology, in and of itself, has on concepts of personal privacy and public information and then, as a layer over that, of the enhanced tension that comes from this war on terrorism that we are currently involved in."
Barnett's primary areas of practice are administrative and governmental law, public policy, and state and local tax evasion.
Barnett, who also serves on the Directors' Committee for Holland & Knight, LLP, was the president of the American Bar Association from 2000 to 2001.
The Preiskel-Silverman Lecture is sponsored by the Robert H. Preiskel and Leon Silverman Program on the Practicing Lawyer and the Public Interest, a fund established by the law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in honor of Robert H. Preiskel, LL.B. 1948, and Leon Silverman, LL.B. 1948, to sponsor lectures and other events celebrating private lawyers' contributions to the public interest.
