Very excited that Cambridge University Press has released the collection Beth Britt and I have edited on rhetoric and law. If you are interested in either topic, check it out. It's available online free of charge through this link (though we'd love it if you ordered a copy): https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/rhetorical-traditions-and-contemporary-law/E726D8261ECF874A252F7E53C17122B5 If you write in this area, we especially would like you to note the final chapter and its call for proposals. #lawfedi #legalwriting #teamrhetoric #lawprofs #argumentation #legalphilosophy

The final version of "The Counterfeit Sham" is now available here: https://harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-138/the-counterfeit-sham/ #LawProfs #LegalScholarship #CounterfeitRhetoric #Schedule A

Looking forward to presenting my (extremely) early stage new project, "Ornamentality and Crime," today at the Mosaic IP Law & Policy Roundtable: https://iipsj.org/programs/annual-mosaic-conference/ #LawFedi #LawProfs #LegalScholarship #DesignHistory

Chicago-Kent College of law is reviving the Chicagoland IP Workshop! If you're an IP prof in "Chicagoland" (define it however you want), please come join us on 12/6.

The deadline for expressions of interest has been extended through 11/6. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKSzysiUSD6MuZNe4kD35NL5uTMgjZxwP4XbQDlUq-5yZmXg/viewform?usp=sf_link

This is a long shot, but any #academics or #lawprofs have a textbook on public law (statutes, regulations, and interpretation) they like?

Even more of a long shot, one they think could be used for an undergraduate class?

FWIW I'm currently looking at this: https://www.westacademic.com/Eskridge-Gluck-and-Nourses-Statutes-Regulation-and-Interpretation-Legislation-and-Adm-9780314273567

Please join us online next Friday, September 27 for the annual Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology Supreme Court IP Review.

More details (and a link to sign up for CLE credit) are available here: https://ckcle.ce21.com/item/2024-supreme-court-ip-review-655570

If you are a law student or professor who is not seeking CLE credit, please feel free to email me for instructions on how to register for free.

Question for the law profs on here: What are the best non-Twitter ways to promote your law school center these days? As much as I personally hate using it, I think we're going to have to create an account for the center on LinkedIn. What else, if anything, should we be thinking about? #LawProfs #LawFedi

Come work with me! Chicago-Kent is hiring for multiple positions (details below). Inquiries can be sent to committee chair Greg Reilly at lawappts@kentlaw.iit.edu.

Fellow profs (especially law profs), I'm curious:

If you wanted to find all the articles a particular scholar had written, how would you go about doing that?

@academicchatter

just spent a fabulous few days at Rocky Mountain National Park with some of my favorite colleagues. Learning about wolves, fire, and energy transition. #publiclands #wildlife #fire #justtransition #lawprofs

Seemed like this day would never come... https://blog.law.tamu.edu/blog/texas-am-law-confirms-newest-full-professors

Check out these JOTWELL reviews of work by my #SuffolkLaw colleagues

Fellow #LawProfs: Do you have a question you find yourself asking over and over when you are commenting on other peoples' drafts?

Mine is: Is this a patent paper or a utility patent paper?

Big news: We'll have one more reason to celebrate at our May 15 event, the news that Cathay Smith will be joining the #ChicagoKentIP faculty this fall!
