Nadler ranks high on House’s Internet Subcommittee
U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, who has been a member of the House Judiciary Committee for the 22 years, has been selected as the ranking member on a Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and Internet.
The choice of Nadler, which was announced on Jan. 28, is expected to be ratified by the full committee the next time it meets.
The subcommittee has jurisdiction over copyright, patent, and trademark laws, as well as overseeing regulation of information technology, administration of US Courts, federal rules of evidence, civil and appellate procedure, and judicial ethics.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as the ranking Democrat on this important subcommittee. The subcommittee has begun the first comprehensive review of our nation’s copyright laws since 1976. These laws are at the core of how we consume media, from watching TV and listening to music to enjoying a movie or sharing photos,” Nadler (D-Upper West Side-Bay Ridge-Bensonhurst) said.
