How cool is it to be Lawrence Lessig?

He founded the Center for Internet and Society. He’s known as “the Elvis of cyber law.” Now he’s a character on “The West Wing.” And he was portrayed by actor Christopher Lloyd – Doc Brown himself. Color us jealous.

Lessig’s eponymous character appeared in last week’s “West Wing”, entitled “A Wake Up Call.” The New York Times talks to episode writer Josh Singer about how Lessig became a character on the show (last item).

The real Lessig weighs in on the experience in his blog.
