Amnesty International will be holding its Florida State Conference here at the Law School on February 25. The deadline for registering is Feb. 13, and you can do so online.
I’ll be there to listen to the impressive roster of speakers, including Ricardo Bascuas, Donna Coker, and Steven Vladeck from our faculty.
I attended a seminar downtown today on “European Union Law and U.S. Business: Front Line Issues of International Dispute Resolution” sponsored by the UM EU Center (with help from the UM law school), and Greenberg, Traurig.
It was an unusually high-quality event, but as arbitration law is something of a specialist taste, you’ll have to click “there’s more” to read my notes from it. (Unless of course you get the full feed, or followed a link to this post, in which case you get to enjoy the whole thing right now.) I’m interested in this stuff because back when I was in private practice, I worked in the London office of US law firm doing international arbitration, and have very occasionally since then acted as an arbitrator.
I’m attending a great seminar downtown today on “European Union Law and U.S. Business: Front Line Issues of International Dispute Resolution” sponsored by the UM EU Center (with help from the UM law school), and Greenberg, Traurig. If I am organized about taking notes, I may post them later…
Join me today, in person or virtually, at the MIT Public Forums on the REAL ID Act of 2005.

I have set up a blog to track IP, IT, and Internet-related academic conferences.
The URL is http://madisonian.net/conferences/
Send conference announcements and save-the-date messages to
madison@law.pitt.eduSuggestions for improving the resource are welcome.
I think this is a great idea. Thanks, Michael!
So here’s my first suggestion: in addition to the blog/RSS announcements, we need a way to display a calendar of forthcoming events in calindrical form. Right now, the calendar in the right margin shows the date you posted the announcement, not the date of the event.
If nothing else, I want an easy way for people to check that the date they are planning to have their event isn’t already taken.
There was a lot less on the blogs about the conference than I expected. The Terra Novans, for example, were (like me) too busy attending to write about it. Perhaps that is the sign of a really good conference.
Urs Gasser had thorough pre-conference thoughts. James Taylor Lewis Grimmelmann, The State of Play is Strong, best captures the flavor of the event, although Community Mobilization, hightlights another important aspect. Torill Mortsen reports on the debate I participated in,
And the audience like this debate. This is the topic that has this audience rocking, to the point that they actually line up in front of the microphone in order to ask questions or participate in the discussion. This is, if nothing else, good academic/intellectual theatre!
Exactly.
