New Media Rights Executive Director to speak on AALS Transactional Clinical Conference closing panel

New Media Rights' director Art Neill will be part of the closing panel at this weekend's American Association of Law Schools Transactional Clinical Conference in Austin.

The 12th Transactional Clinical Conference, “Serving the Economy,” will take place on Friday, April 5th, and Saturday, April 6th in Austin, Texas. This annual conference is a gathering of transactional clinicians working in a range of sectors, including community development, non-profit, small business, entrepreneurs, technology, intellectual property, and affordable housing.

The theme of this year’s conference is "Serving the Economy," with a focus on topics such as crowdfunding, transactional practice in the shared economy, measuring and improving our impact, who should we serve, engaging students in a discussion of capitalism and its alternatives, providing clients with non-traditional, transactional practice skills, and other topics related to the role of transactional clinics, of all types, in serving and strengthening the economy.    

Neill will take part in the closing Panel: "Interdisciplinary Clinical Pedagogical Approach: Creating Lawyers as Problem-Solvers, Appreciating the Risks and Benefits, Clinical Examples of Non-Traditional Transactional Clinic Matters." Panelists include Kosuri (U. Penn), Leslie (U. Chicago), Neill (Cal Western), Bressman (Vanderbilt), Lembree (UNH)

The panel will focus on the value of incorporating nontraditional approaches into clinic settings.  Art will discuss a bit about NMR's policy work at the Copyright Office and FCC, and our Internet and digital rights related work. The panel will also touch on the ups and downs of taking on litigation matters, as well as challenges with the breadth of areas clinics must sometimes cover.
