Will business, or the rules, change in the wake of the high-profile Microsoft antitrust case? A panel featuring Cornell law, business and computer science professors will talk about the case and its aftermath Thursday, Sept. 27, on Cornell University's campus. The event is free and open to the public.

Titled "The Microsoft Case: Information Technology and a New Era of Anti-Trust Law," the discussion will be held in B17 Upson Hall from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The panel features these Cornell faculty members: Kenneth Birman, professor of computer science; George Hay, the Edward Cornell Professor of Law and professor of economics; and Michael Waldman, the Charles H. Dyson Professor in Management and professor of economics. Tracy Mitrano, policy adviser for Cornell's Office of Information Technologies, will moderate the discussion. Mitrano also is co-director of the office's Computer Policy and Law (CPL) program.

The event is co-sponsored by the Computer Policy and Law program in the Office of Information Technologies and the Department of Computer Science at Cornell. This is the first in a series of programs by CPL to bring information technology issues before the Cornell community. For more information, contact Mitrano at (607) 254-3584.
