Montana Law Review Symposium

The Montana Law Review held a symposium entitled the Right to Privacy on October 11-13, 2006, in the Castles Center at The University of Montana School of Law in Missoula, Montana. This event educated legal professionals, students, and the general public about privacy issues in our legal system. The symposium divided into autonomy privacy issues and informational privacy issues and addressed diverse subjects such as abortion rights, gay and lesbian rights, the right to die, technology, and the war on drugs. The symposium also involved several paper presentations, along with question and answer sessions.

This important event was open and free to the public. For attorneys, the Montana State Bar approved 1 CLE credit per hour attended (9 credits maximum).
