The Situationist Contributed to by assistant professor, David Yosifon. "Situationism" is an approach that is deliberately attentive to the situation.

The Situationist is a forum for scholars, students, lawyers, policymakers, and interested citizens to examine, discuss, and debate the effect of situational forces—that is, non-salient factors around and within us—on law, policy, politics, policy theory, and our social, political, and economic institutions. The Situationist is associated with The Project on Law and Mind Sciences at Harvard Law School.

Tech Law Forum Sponsored by the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara Law School, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, TLF brings together experts in their field to discuss and debate the issues by edition and by topic.

Communities of experts can develop both online (blogs) and offline to continue the discussion generated by the published material.
