Introduction

Welcome to my blog. Here, I will endeavor to write -- in the limited free time available to a first-year law student -- about the legal issues that outrage me, excite me, or make me wonder, "Just where we are going? And what is this handbasket for?"

Intellectual property is a rapidly changing area of the law, fueled by equally rapid technological changes, and I find that many moral and legal questions in this field have not yet been answered. I hope to outline at least some of the questions.

A short introduction seems to be in order. I am entering the legal profession as a second career; my first graduate degree was in biomechanical engineering, followed by a few years of work as a mechanical engineer in Silicon Valley. I hope to specialize in patent law after graduation.
