The Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) is Canada’s first and only public interest technology law clinic.

Privacy;
Free Expression;
Intellectual Property;
Telecommunications Policy; and
Data and Algorithmic Governance.
Our mandate has three inter-related components:

We speak up for the public interest when key decisions about technology law and policy are being made by Parliament, the courts, regulatory agencies, international bodies, and private companies;
We provide pro bono legal counsel to clients with technology law matters that implicate the public interest; and
We develop public education materials and resources on technology law and policy issues.
