University of Oregon School of Law

• Founder and Senior Articles Editor, TheLegality Online Law Journal, 2008, 2009

  We created The Legality to fill a niche in the world of legal scholarship. Since paper law journals can take months to assemble each new issue, and blawgs are often casual or unpolished, we saw a need for professional legal analysis produced on internet time. We published articles offering a legal perspective on topics of popular interest, with hyperlinked citations to relevant legal authority. As a founding member, I authored four articles addressing topics which ranged from justifiable homicide to copyright in high-fashion clothing. As Senior Articles Editor, I served as a faculty ambassador and supervised staff editors in the publication of articles written by outside contributors. My January 2008 article about Hasbro.s threats to sue over the Scrabulous game on Facebook led to an interview with the CBC show .The Current.

• Student Internship, UO Technology Transfer Office, Spring 2009

  For academic credit, I surveyed intellectual property license agreements issued by universities in the United States and identified terms that were likely to impact start-up licensing decisions. I conducted interviews with entrepreneurs, attorneys, and licensing groups at other universities. I then produced a whitepaper discussing the licensing .market. for university technology and identified strategies to promote economic development through increased technology licensing at the University of Oregon.

• Summer Fellow, Technology Entrepreneur Program, 2008

  TEP fellowships are awarded to select students enrolled in the PhD, MBA, and JD programs at UO. Law students are chosen based on demonstrated achievement in classes dealing with business and intellectual property law. My team and I evaluated several inventions for commercial potential, selected the most attractive one, and developed a strategy to bring that technology to market.

• Media Coordinator, Law Students for Sustainable Business Symposium, 2008

  The LSSB (now the Green Business Initiative) was formed in 2008 to forge relationships between government policymakers, green industry players in the Pacific Northwest, and the business law program at the University of Oregon. As media coordinator, I contacted TV, print, and internet media outlets to publicize the inaugural symposium held on April 11 2008, request coverage of the event, and answer any questions from reporters.
