Jake Shapiro - Editor, aka "twotonshoe"

Adam Tullman - Editor, aka "turmis"

Adam Tullman is the perfectly strang mix of liberal arts and computer geekdom. He studied American History and Spanish at Northwestern University while administrating the Novell network and helping various professors with their computer woes. He is in his first year of law school and trying as hard as he can to know everything about cyberlaw issues. He finds cyberlaw fascinating because it is all new and constantly changing. Adam was born and went to high school in California, learned to walk and talk in New Jersey, went to college in Chicago and has no idea "where he is from." He hopes to go in to some sort of intellectual property litigation and to have many more opportunities to talk about himself as though he wasn't in the room.

Donna Wentworth - Editor, aka "filter_editor"

Since the spring of 1999 Donna Wentworth has been writing and editing The Filter, the cyberlaw e-newsletter of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. She likens her job to that of a translator, making cyberlaw and its specialized languages--otherwise known as "geek speak" and "lawyerspeak"--understandable to a wider audience. She is increasingly interested in the impact of technology on social and cultural life, and is in the (very) early stages of writing a book on the subject; she hopes it will be half as incisive and well-written as Michael Lewis's Next: The Future Just Happened.

Justin Fredericks - Editor, aka "justfred"

Justin Fredericks is a Harvard Law School 1L, arriving directly from UCLA, where he was Phi Beta Kappa and graduated summa cum laude.

A legal advocate at the Hale and Dorr Legal Services Center, Fredericks currently represents business and entertainment clients, while he founded the Lentrepreneur Association to explore the interrelation between law and creative enterprises. After studying cyberspace social dynamics as an undergraduate Sociology major, he began to question how current law will effect the growth of the World Wide Web, and vice versa, as well as how the Internet will produce new law. An avid traveler and tennis player, Fredericks is from Malibu, California and has also lived in New York and Paris.
