08/09/2017
Benjamin Keele, a research and instruction librarian at the Ruth Lilly Law Library at IU McKinney, talked about the potential for attorneys after the Federal Communications Commission dials back internet neutrality regulations. The comments came in a story titled, “Attorneys are anticipating the worst if internet regulations are rolled back,” which was published in the Indiana Lawyer.
Lawyers, who are dependent on the internet to file motions and briefs with courts, perform research, and communicate with clients. How deregulation will impact the practice is concerning to many.
“We’re living in a world where net neutrality has been the general rule and it is a little hard to imagine (what comes next) if we don’t know how much throttling will happen,” Keele said in the story. The piece was published August 9.
