Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
Lawrence Lessig is a highly-sought keynote speaker and expert covering such topics as politics, international affairs, and leadership. He is a best-selling author, consultant, media pundit, and thought-leader who has spoken at many conferences around the world where he gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and education.
Lawrence Lessig is hired to speak at events and conferences where he can give expertise on important global business affairs. He is a political activist and professor from the United States. His work to make copyright, trademark, and radio frequency laws easier to follow has made him well-known. He was a strong defender of the Second Amendment and the person who started the Second Constitutional Convention.
Lawrence Lessig is the head of Harvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics and a law professor at Harvard Law School. He is one of the most important and forward-thinking philosophers of the digital age. He has a unique place at the intersection of revolutionary ideas, citizen activism, the future of law, digital technology, and democracy itself. His signature fast-paced presentation style, called the “Lessig Method,” uses dynamic typography and insightful visuals to keep the audience’s attention and teach them a lot.
Lessig taught law at Harvard Law School from 1997 to 2000, Stanford Law School (where he set up the Center for Internet and Society), and the University of Chicago Law School before returning to Harvard. Lessig worked as a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Judge Richard Posner of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
His current research is about “institutional corruption” or, more generally, the effects of an influence economy that hurt the effectiveness of an institution or hurt the public’s trust in it. At the EJ Safra Lab, he is in charge of a five-year research project that looks into institutional corruption in different institutional settings.
Lessig has won many awards, like the Freedom Award from the Free Software Foundation, and Scientific American named him one of the Top 50 Visionaries. He is a part of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
Lessig is on the boards of iCommons.org, the American Academy in Berlin, Creative Commons, MapLight, the Brave New Film Foundation, Change Congress, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is on the Sunlight Foundation’s board of advisors. He has been on the boards of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Free Software Foundation, the Software Freedom Law Center, the Public Library of Science, Free Press, and Public Knowledge. Lessig also wrote pieces for the magazine’s Industry Standard, Red Herring, and Wired.
Lessig went to the University of Pennsylvania and got a BA in economics and a BS in management. He also got an MA in philosophy from Cambridge and a JD from Yale. The University of Amsterdam, Athabasca University, and The Georgia-American University have all given him honorary degrees.
Lawrence Lessig has been against the power of money in politics for decades. In a new book, the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School talks about revitalizing democracy in a broader sense. In “They Don’t Represent Us: Reclaiming Our Democracy,” Lessig says that the country’s political system is broken, corrupted by politics, and controlled by special interests. Lessig recently told The Gazette how things got to be this way and what he thinks can be done to change them.
Lessig is married to Bettina Neuefeind and has three children (Willem, Teo, and Tess).
