Barbara van Schewick

She is widely recognized as a leading expert on net neutrality and the economic and social implications of internet regulation.

[1] After her second state law examination, she was the first residential fellow at Lawrence Lessig's newly founded Center for Internet and Society (CIS) at Stanford University for 15 months.

[3] Since October 2004, van Schewick has been a research associate at the Department of Telecommunications Networks at Technische Universität Berlin.

She emphasizes the economic disadvantages to be feared if net neutrality were abandoned and network operators were each able to set their own rules for Internet use.

Since Lessig's move to Harvard Law School, van Schewick has directed the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford.
