Student Reporters

The above photo is of the 11 law student reporters, plus myself and Amanda Streff, fellow law student and board member of the Young Lawyer/Law Student Board. It was taken last week at the 26th Annual Spring Conference of the American Bar Association, Intellectual Property Law Section.

I created the law student reporters program in my capacity as the Law Student Liaison to the Intellectual Property Law Section and as a Board Member to the Section’s Membership Board. Student reporters received complimentary registration to the 26th Annual Spring Conference in Arlington, Virginia in exchange for their services as social media reporters. Students were asked to tweet about the CLE programs and other events they attended using the Conference’s official “#iplspring” hashtag.

The student reporters wrote over 600 tweets during the three and a half day conference, generating buzz and excitement among the attorney attendees, many of whom joined Twitter to add their own tweets about the Conference. Most importantly, the law students got the opportunity to learn and experience what the ABA Intellectual Property Law (ABA-IPL) Section is all about by interacting with its leaders, members and staff.

Pictured in the photo are: (R to L with links to their Twitter accounts) Vivek Nittala, Krystle Thompson, Olivia Ruiz-Joffre, Eric Jeide, Elizabeth Wilson, Griffin Barnett, Wendy Zimbone, Jennifer Nguyen, Eric Perrott, Amanda Streff, Keith Syverson, Seth Dennis, Micah Ascano.
