November is Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month - Law Library Display

November is Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, which recognizes "the vital role critical infrastructure plays in our nation’s way of life" with the goal of "raising awareness of the importance of securing the assets, systems, and networks we count on every day" (from the Department of Homeland Security website here).

This year, President Obama's proclamation of Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month calls on our nation to "safeguard and strengthen the systems we rely on every day and to support first-class infrastructure that can sustain America's role as a leader on the world stage."

In recognition of this event, the Law Library is currently featuring a display which offers resources on the intersection of the law with various infrastructure systems, ranging from our transportation system (highways, bridges, railroads) to telecommunication and internet networks, as well as electricity and energy systems. Especially featured on the display is recent copy of Infrastructure, a quarterly newsletter published by the ABA Section of Public Utility, Communications, and Transportation Law.  Recent issues, including the issue on the display, are available on the Section's website here.
