Manprit Brar
Legal Fellow, Wikimedia Foundation
"Even the genius asks questions" - Tupac Shakur
About me
I am a recent graduate from Michigan State University, College of Law and am hoping to practice intellectual property law in California. I am excited to be working with the Wikimedia Foundation and learning more about open-source communities.
My work
As a legal fellow at the Wikimedia Foundation, I will concentrate on ways to develop and improve the interplay between legal considerations and community needs in a variety of contexts, including consultations on legal issues and policies as well as legal training for community groups critical to our mission. Additionally, I get to explore how intellectual property, privacy, and cyber law effect the functioning of an open-source community organization.
