A Tribute to Michele Bridges (Part II)

Earlier this week, I posted the first part of our tribute to Michele Bridges, our former Executive Director, featuring former Federal Circuit Chief Judge Michel and former Center Director Richard Gruner: https://bit.ly/3aug7PB. During her time with us, Michele touched many other lives, including those of students, adjuncts, and partners both in the U.S. and abroad. A few wrote to us. With their permission, I am pleased to share their tributes.

First ever online conference – done!

On Friday, we hosted our first-ever completely online conference. It seemed appropriate that our conference focused on legal and policy issues arising from digital platforms. Given the strong interest by attendees who signed up earlier, we decided on Wednesday to migrate the event online. Surprisingly, we soon received inquiries from China, Europe, India, and elsewhere, and were glad that many more folks were able to join us.
