Andrews is currently focusing on how social networks are changing our lives, for good or ill. LORI ANDREWS started her consumer activism
when she was seven and her Ken doll went bald. Her letter to Mattel got action, and she has been fighting for people’s rights ever since. Now she works on the edge of new technology. She has advised companies, politicians, and consumers around the world about the personal and social impacts of genetic technologies, reproductive technologies, and nanotechnologies. Andrews is currently focusing on how social networks are changing our lives, for good or ill. Her path-breaking litigation about technologies caused the National Law Journal to list her as one of the “100 Most Influential Lawyers in America.” The American Bar Association Journal calls Andrews “a lawyer with a literary bent who has the scientific chops to rival any CSI investigator.” In her current project, she is writing a constitution that will cover social networks.
Andrews is a distinguished professor of law at the Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago-Kent School of Law and director of IIT’s Institute for Science, Law and Technology. She has been a visiting professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law and at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. She received her BA summa cum laude from Yale College and her JD from Yale Law School. Professor Andrews is the author of 11 nonfiction books, including I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did. She is the author of more than 150 articles on biotechnology, genetics and social networks. Professor Andrews is also the author of three mysteries involving a fictional geneticist: Sequence, The Silent Assassin, and Immunity.
