Cyberbullying of LGBT Students: A National Conference Call

By  
on

As we mentioned in our response to the recent Above the Law boycott — which is apparently over, happily — cyberbullying is a serious problem. But dealing with it, especially in legal terms, raises serious questions.

Is criminalizing cyberbullying the best solution? If so, how should the law define cyberbullying? What role should be played by exiting laws, e.g., hate crime statutes?

We’re liveblogging a national conference call on cyberbullying, sponsored by the National LGBT Bar Association, which started at 2:30 p.m.

Join us, after the jump….

The call is free and open to the public. If you’d like to participate, you can click here, RSVP, and obtain dial-in information for the call.
