Welcome!

Hello fellow law students,

I am a third year law student at Southwestern Law School, and I am excited and honored to serve as the 2010-2011 Law Student Division Liaison to the ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law. In my role as Student Liaison, I attend and participate in ABA-IPL events and meetings, representing the interests of the 9,000+ ABA-IPL law student members, and report back on issues that are important to us.

ABA-IPL seeks to engage law students and enrich their careers by offering a broad spectrum of events programming, membership benefits, and publications. There are dozens of ways to get involved as a student, and I encourage you to seek out the opportunities available to you. One of the easiest ways to get involved immediately is to join a committee in your area of legal interest. Just click on the “Committees” button on the left side of the screen, then choose your Division of interest, and select the committee that most interests you. Also, make sure to join our LinkedIn and Facebook groups to stay current on ABA-IPL news.

This blog is to introduce you to the Section, and to keep you updated on all the exciting events and programs that the Section has to offer. Thanks for visiting!

ABA-IPL's Young Lawyer's Action Group (YLAG)

One of the most welcoming, active and eager committees of the ABA-IPL is the Young Lawyer's Action Group. They have monthly conference calls and everyone is welcome on their calls. I encourage all law students to check out this group. They are always excited to have law students dial in, and frequently put the law students to work on the group's upcoming Careers in IP Publication and other great programs.

There are so many stand-out members of this group, so when you call in, listen for people such as Matt Kohner, Matt Asbell, David Postolski, Sharra Brockman, Chrissie Scelsi and Mo Deka.

Check out their ABA page at: http://apps.americanbar.org/dch/committee.cfm?com=PT051000
The page contains the call-in information so you can join the call and PDFs of the minutes for each call, so that you bring yourself up to speed before you call in this month.
