A busy week in Carlisle, PA. Thank you to the Cumberland County Bar Association for the invitation to speak to its members about AI regulation. Those who gathered had great questions, and we had a good exchange of ideas. I am delighted to learn that many in the audience are Penn State Dickinson Law alumni, including Hubert Gilroy (Martson Law Offices) and Lisa Grayson, Esq. (Register of Wills & Clerk of Orphans’ Court for Cumberland County).

Dean Danielle Conway, Professor Sara Gerke and I hosted Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences Director Jenni Evans and Director of Client Engagement Derek Leydig. Hope to share an exciting announcement before too long!

Finally, but not least, I caught up with Gary Gilden, our immediate past dean. Gary developed a persuasion class that addresses how lawyers should adapt their persuasion to recent neuroscience findings as to how the brain receives and processes information. His course features a dazzling variety of innovations, including a field trip to Hershey Medical Center where Division Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery Dr. Elias Rizk explained the operation of the brain using actual specimens.

Gary will appear on an episode of Profiles in Leadership’s second season to discuss his course and more. Stay tuned!
