Sometimes your chair will be too busy to find time to call you back, but will talk to you if you manage to reach him or her by telephone. One goal of the Law Student Committee is to provide information and services of interest and of use to law students who are interested in intellectual property law. Please contact me with any ideas you may have regarding potential activities or services of the Law Student Committee this year. Ted's comments and our written statement were based upon five resolutions approved by the Section's Council during a telephone conference call on February 4, 1998. Each year, an award is to be given to an IP law student who best exemplies excellence in the field of intellectual property law.
Submissions are to be made by the deans of ABA-approved law schools.
Selection will be made by a committee comprised of representatives of the three sponsoring associations. The Impact in Information, April 23-25 at the University of California at Berkeley. An interesting activity of Committee 703 is the plan to issue a series of papers in the area of new information technologies. The first series of papers will deal with information technology trends that are expected to mature over the next five to ten years and the impact of these trends on intellectual property law. Committee 953 is proceeding with its plans to publish a Patent Law Primer for the Federal Judiciary.
