Along with fellow Fastcase 50 awardee Micheal Lissner, Brian Carver has established the Free Law Project, a non-profit providing free access to primary law, developing legal research tools, and supporting academic research on legal data. A professor of information science and also a lawyer, Carver studies the laws and policies governing technology and information, particularly the technical, economic, social, and legal frameworks that best promote progress and access to information. His research has led him to write on open-source software projects, software licensing, and he also teaches courses on intellectual property law for information professionals.
