Kate Klonick

I am an Assistant Professor at Law at St. John's University Law School and an Affiliate Fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School and New America. I hold a  JD from Georgetown University Law Center, where I was a Senior Editor at The Georgetown Law Journal and the Founding Editor of the The Georgetown Law Journal Online; and a PhD from Yale Law School where I studied under Jack Balkin, Tom Tyler, and Josh Knobe.  Between law school and my time at Yale, I clerked for the Hon. Richard C. Wesley of the Second Circuit and the Hon. Eric N. Vitaliano of the Eastern District of New York.

I have a background in cognitive psychology which I apply to the study of emerging issues in law and technology. Specifically, this has included research and work on the Internet's effect on freedom of expression and private platform governance. I also write and work on issues related to online shaming, artificial intelligence, robotics, content moderation, algorithms, privacy, and intellectual property.

My work on these topics has appeared in the Harvard Law Review, Maryland Law Review, New York Times, The Atlantic, Slate, The Guardian and numerous other publications.
