Delighted to be back in New York and Washington, DC this week. Many thanks to Kenneth Min and his Practising Law Institute (PLI) team for inviting me to convene and host the Global IP Spotlight series. The upcoming episode on AI regulation and copyright will feature an outstanding panel consisting of Dr Stanley Lai, SC Lily Xue Dong Joshua G. Graubart Peter Yu and Matthias Leistner. I am also grateful to Hideaki Roy Umetsu Aruto Kagami Kohei Wachi of Mori Hamada & Matsumoto for their warm hospitality at their New York office and to Nahoko Ono for connecting us. Ono-sensei will be a panelist on an upcoming Global IP Spotlight episode focusing on Japan. It was wonderful to be back at Fordham University School of Law and reconnect with my former colleagues Darin Neely and Aisha Harper. Lastly but not least, I deeply appreciate Lisa Dunner's invitation to attend the inaugural Donald R. Dunner Memorial Lecture and reception at The George Washington University Law School. I remain grateful to Don for agreeing to serve as chair of the John Marshall Law School IP program's advisory board and Lisa as a board member. They provided much leadership, advice, and support during their tenure. Lisa and her sister Jennifer both earned their law degrees there. John Marshall is known today as the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law. It was also a pleasure to catch up with Jenny Sue Dunner Joshua Sarnoff Patrick J. Coyne Nick Groombridge and Naja Cherry during my trip.

This week, I sat down with my Penn State Dickinson Law colleague, Toni Fitzgerald, to talk about the Dickinson Law delegation study trip to Singapore. It was a carefully crafted journey to bridge continents, spark meaningful dialogue, and explore future global legal education and practice pathways. Stay tuned for updates on Toni’s coverage, which will capture the experiences, highlights, and key takeaways of our time in Singapore. We’re excited to share this journey with you all, and we hope Toni's articles will inspire others to think globally and pursue bold, cross-border educational experiences.

Delighted to help bring together friends, colleagues, and partners from both sides of the Pacific for Penn State Dickinson Law's inaugural visit to Singapore. Grateful to our hosts for their warm hospitality and for sharing our belief that symbiosis and synergies rest on a foundation of friendship and trust knit together by a shared vision of simple, sincere, and sustained in-person conversations such as these.
