Its inadequacy to new technology\, coupled with poor ly drafted legislation and a weak system of limitations on exclusive right s\, has a chilling effect on scientific innovation\, which is based on the use\, reuse and recasting of past and current knowledge.\nThe Open Access (OA) movement is challenging this state of affairs. While the majority of current discussion about OA focuses on cost and sustainability\, other in teresting issues emerge\, including the relationship among OA policies\, f ormal law\, and social norms within the scientific community. This lecture will take a closer look at these.\nThis event is free to the public\, but lawyers seeking continuing legal education credits for the Quebec Bar (1. 5 hours) are asked to pay $30 upon arriving.\nFor more information\, pleas e contact david.groves [at] mail.mcgill.ca.
