** Lessig was appointed [[special master]] by Judge [[Thomas Penfield Jackson]] in 1997; the appointment was vacated by the [[United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit]];<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov/common/opinions/199806/97-5343a.txt |title=USCA-DC Opinions – Released On 1/21/2011 |publisher=Pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov |access-date=2011-01-23 |archive-date=October 26, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061026065501/http://pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov/common/opinions/199806/97-5343a.txt |url-status=live }}</ref> the appellate court ruled that the powers granted to Lessig exceeded the scope of the Federal statute providing for special masters; Judge Jackson then solicited Lessig's [[amicus brief]]
** Lessig said about this appointment: "Did Justice Jackson pick me to be his special master because he had determined I was the perfect mix of [[Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.|Holmes]], and [[Ed Felten]]? No, I was picked because I was a Harvard Law Professor teaching the law of cyberspace. Remember: So is 'fame' made."<ref>[http://www.lessig.org/blog/2005/02/west_wing_lessons.html Lessig blog] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121015180643/http://www.lessig.org/blog/2005/02/west_wing_lessons.html |date=October 15, 2012 }}</ref>
