Convocation | A Welcome to Dickinson Law

We welcomed the Class of 2025 to Penn State Dickinson Law this week with a series of events culminating in a convocation ceremony in the law school’s beautiful Apfelbaum Family Courtroom & Auditorium. Dean Danielle Conway set the tone for their next three years, and hopefully longer, by emphasizing their solemn responsibility to defend the Constitution, promote the rule of law and protect the vulnerable among us.

Associate Dean of Experiential Learning, Mae Quinn and I co-hosted students over lunch. We enjoyed hearing about their aspirations at law school and beyond, shared our thoughts on navigating their 1L year, and encouraged them to look beyond grades in finding their areas of passion in the law. Looking forward to seeing their budding careers blossom in the years ahead.

Penn State | Meetings

Penn State | Meetings

Delighted to meet with interim provost Justin Schwartz on his third day in office. We had a good discussion, including how my work with the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences and Penn State Dickinson Law’s Intellectual Property Law & Innovation Initiative might contribute to university goals and better engage faculty across its disciplines in the coming year and beyond.

Also met with IP clinic director Jonathan D’Silva and Happy Valley LaunchBox Entrepreneurial Cog Connector Jason Huber. LaunchBox is a one-stop shop for the community to get no-cost legal advice, co-working facilities, programs to help startups, and more (see: https://happyvalley.launchbox.psu.edu/). Grateful to them for giving me a personal tour of LaunchBox. Caught up with Professor John Lopatka for lunch. John is one of the nation’s leading antitrust scholars and serves as A. Robert Noll Distinguished Professor of Law at Penn State Law. Finally, my day’s meetings ended with Professor Trent Jaeger, a cybersecurity expert. We are collaborating on a podcast on current cybersecurity issues scheduled for later this year. Stay tuned!

Penn State | Institute for Computational and Data Sciences

Penn State | ICDS

Met in person for the first time with colleagues from across Penn State this week under the auspices of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS). ICDS promotes innovative, high-performance computation methods across colleges and disciplines. It enables advanced simulation and statistical modeling, data analysis, data mining, machine learning, and more.

We discussed ways to apply these tools and methods to identify and address gaps in diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as by looking at the innovation process through the lens of big data – from information disclosure to patenting to licensing to see how women or racial minorities fare, where there might be bottlenecks, and how we can improve the innovation ecosystem.

ICDS plays a critical role in keeping research across the university open and inclusive and in fostering dialogue and collaboration. As scholars increasingly harness new computing-enabled tools, computational and data sciences will become a mainstay, even in legal scholarship. Its cyberscience initiatives support researchers probing both the far corners of the universe to atoms and to they intersect with law and society.

Congratulations to the ICDS team, and thank you for all your hard work this week in bridging our research! For more information about ICDS, see https://dev.ics.psu.edu/about/

Semiconductors | Law, Innovation and the Digital Economy

Delighted to join colleagues from the U.S., Israel, and Europe for the Law, Innovation and the Digital Economy seminar, hosted by the University of Oxford. Businesses are global, or global trends affect them, so it is important that the laws that govern them remain relevant and responsive.

My remarks will address key trends in the #semiconductor industry, including the long-awaited bill aimed at increasing American competitiveness. This bipartisan achievement will send over 50 billion dollars to American manufacturing and scientific research.

Seminar speakers will also address other topics, including algorithmic price personalization, the rise of moral robots, innovation in digital markets, international competition law enforcement, and the digitalization of justice.

Kudos to Professors Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid and Ariel Ezrachi for their leadership and for gathering us together to discuss the implications of these important issues. Looking forward to joining Mateusz Grochowski Beril Boz Ronit Shimoni Uriel Mizlish Judge Daphna Blatman-Kedrai Yehuda Sommer Cohen Nigel Cook Eva Lein, Nikolas Guggenberger samuel ESTREICHER Alberto Aronovitz Carole Basri Dr. Milly Perry Elad Finkelstein Sivan Sabban Hacohen Michal Shapira and Peter Thompson.

Listening Tours | DC

Delighted to catch up with old friends and meet new ones on my recent trip to DC. They span the spectrum of stakeholders, academia, government, legal practice, and think tanks. I am grateful to each of them for their warm hospitality.

Our conversations helped me better understand the finer points of the DC intelligentsia and the important role they play in shaping conversations, laws, and policies across the nation. They also helped me understand how Penn State Dickinson Law might contribute meaningfully to those conversations in the years to come. I look forward to working closely with them.

This is the first in my series of listening tours. I expect to be back again soon and particularly look forward to catching up with those I missed seeing this time. I am also planning visits to visit other cities this year.
