Intellectual property technical adviser by day, student by night

Article Abstract:

The number of law firm technical advisers attending law school at night is expected to go up, with their number concentrated in Washington, DC, home of about 6 law schools, the Patent and Trademark Office, and a number of intellectual property firms. The Silicon Valley's Santa Clara University School of Law and Boston's Suffolk University School of Law are others which have long attracted technical adviser students. The latter even has a specialty program for students of that kind. Suffolk reports between 25 and 50 such students annually.

Silicon Valley-based school woos away intellectual property star

Article Abstract:

The Santa Clara University School of Law scored a dramatic coup by luring University of Washington School of Law professor Donald S Chisum. The move bolsters SCU's already strong reputation in intellectual property law, and reinforces the San Francisco Bay area's nationwide stature in legal education's hottest field. Stanford and the UC law schools Boalt and Hastings all emphasize IP law. In a separate story, first-year Harvard Law School student Ronald S Kasner was suspended for defrauding other students.

Law school fencer tries dual career; Columbia 1L, to compete in the Olympics, also vies for a spot on the law review

Article Abstract:

Nick Bravin is a Columbia law student but also a fencer. When Bravin started at Columbia Law School, he was ranked No. 1 fencer in the US, had been national champion three times and had beaten some of the world's best fencers. Bravin used some of the confidence and agility he had shown in his sport in Columbia's classrooms. Bravin decided in the spring of 1995 to take a leave from law school to try to make the US Olympic fencing team. He seems guaranteed a spot.
