Jeffrey Omari is an Assistant Professor of Law at Gonzaga Law School. His research sits at the intersection of law, technology, and social science, and he currently teaches constitutional law, privacy law, business associations, and torts.  Omari’s current work examines internet governance through the lens of Brazil’s cyber law, the Marco Civil da Internet (MCI). He spent 18 months in that country conducting ethnographic fieldwork in two contrasting locations: the favelas (informal, low-income communities) of Rio de Janeiro and in Brazil’s top law school, Fundação Getúlio Vargas Direito.  Formerly a Law and Social Science Doctoral Fellow at the American Bar Foundation, Omari holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Illinois College of Law.  In this podcast, Omari discusses his recent research and its connection to New Legal Realism.
