Professor Bridy

Copyright is a sad topic. Rights Owners will stop at nothing to reduce talent to dollars. Next they will go for cochlear implants that automatically debit one's bank account whenever protected work becomes audible.

I met an attorney this summer who believes that Congress/the Supreme Court will not extend the term of copyright again. Oh, to have such faith.

Sketches

When I was a 1L, I took notes by hand. . . at least sometimes. Recognize anybody?

Professor Trapper Stewart

uI've never had a class from Professor Stewart, but he did come and guest lecture in Professional Responsibility.

Texas!

Thanks to Eric here for bringing Inter Alia back from the dead.

Sarah

The 24, 7, 365 Rule

President, Sergeant-at-arms Emeritus

In general, I'm suspicious of student governments. However, in this case I have to give them props, nay, KUDOS, for installing an art scanner in the basement of the law library.

Law Review

Mr. T

John J. Hasko Library Director & Professor of Law

Still life with carpet and bricks

Con Law

Here's three 2L's hard at work during today's lecture on assorted fundamental rights. From left to right: Aaron Calkins, Arch Harner, and Randy Todd. Lecturing in the front of the class is Prof. O'Callaghan. Jason Naess appears right above Aaron's left shoulder. The rest are too un-finished to warrant mentioning.

Mr. Ben Onosko

Prof. O'Callaghan's syllabus recommends doodling as an alternative to surfing the net during class. An excellent policy. As you might deduce, Ben sits to my left in that class.

Not Mr. Chief Justice Roberts

He came. Unfortunately, none of my sketches of the Chief Justice turned out good. However, it wasn't a complete artistic flop, I drew this guy. I don't know this student, but people have recognized the drawing as "Stacey." Hope you don't mind, Stacey, you're famous now.

Professor Mark Anderson

Was kind enough to save his hand-drawn diagrams from fall semester 08. There were a lot. I scanned them in and they appear as the background here.

Professor Jack Miller

Business Entities tax is quite the beast. Prof. Miller is more cheerful than I am, at least at 8:00 am. "It's not bad enough to warrant sarcasm," he says. So when he says, "This is it, this is the heart of darkness." You know for sure that the code is big fat and wrinkly.

Dean Don Burnett

The Dean teaches PR. PR stands for legal ethics. My favorite quote of his is "Some Clients may insist on that sort of chicanery." I had to look that one up. And believe you me, we have read about the worst chicanery in the book. The book of chicanery, also called Problems in Legal Ethics. Anyway, I now have every intention to act professionally, and to get fewer than 900 parking tickets.

Professor Michael A. Satz

I took a class called "consumer law" from Professor Michael A. Satz. Consumer law is about the good ways consumers can protect themselves, assuming they haven't received an envelope-stuffer relegating them to binding arbitration.

Professor Jack Miller

Visiting Professor of Law Nora O'Callaghan

Prof. O'Callaghan teaches Con Law. And now I will complain about the US judicial system. The judicial branch is considered the "least dangerous branch" because it doesn't have a purse our a sword. I'd say it should be called the fuzziest branch. Its as dangerous as any other of our branches. The judciary shapes our society, and that's just as important as our money or our army.
