Eugene F. Chay, author of part of the majority's opinion on the Internet as a communications medium, is a second-year law student at American University Washington College of Law. A 1993 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Eugene is a member of The American University Law Review, and is the President of the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association at WCL. Eugene also serves as a Dean's Fellow in the law school's Legal Methods Program, and will be employed at the Philadelphia law firm of Mesirov, Gelman, Jaffe, Cramer and Jamieson during the summer of 1997. He firmly believes the Supreme Court's decision in ACLU v. Reno must take exceptional care to safeguard freedom of speech on the Internet in order to protect the extraordinary capabilities of an unprecedentedly democratic communications medium for unconstrained, unfettered, and widespread exchange of information.
