Julie E. Cohen

Along with academic articles, Cohen is the author of Configuring the Networked Self: Law, Code, and the Play of Everyday Practice and a co-author of casebook Copyright in a Global Information Economy.

From 1992 to 1995, she practiced with the San Francisco firm of McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen, specializing in intellectual property litigation.

Cohen has been an important participant in the discussion surrounding intellectual property and copyright.

There has been an ongoing debate about the use of technology instead of, or in addition to, copyright to protect intellectual property in digital form.

She has expressed concern about the potential legal impact of these technologies, as well as mass market contracts as they threaten individual privacy and autonomy.
