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.

Join us for our Digital Platforms Conference (Completely Online)!

UIC Engineering

IP law and engineering have many points of synergy. With John Marshall Law School now one of UIC's 16 colleges, the time is ripe to explore how we can offer course, certificate, and degree tie-ups at the undergraduate, graduate, and executive education levels that maximize those points of synergy.

AlixPartners

Enjoyed meeting up with Anne Gron and Pablo Florian over lunch. Anne heads AlixPartners' Chicago Office and Pablo serves as Alix's Director. We had a frank and wide-ranging discussion, including on digital platforms and antitrust. Delighted that Anne accepted my invitation to speak at our upcoming conference on March 13. Looking forward to welcoming them both to UIC John Marshall Law School. Details here: http://bit.ly/2vESzYM
