Akron Alumnus, Ty Kendrick, will be speaking on the practicalities surrounding practicing patent prosecution and IP law generally. Ty is a former partner in the patent prosecution group of Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff, and has most recently started his own IP law firm, Kern Kendrick, LLC, in the central Ohio area. Ty will come prepared to speak on running an IP law practice, but hopes to engage in discussion with the attendees rather than merely a lecture. Please join us for this event at the following WebEx:

Dear University of Akron School of Law students and faculty,

On November 14-15, Carnegie Mellon University will be holding the “Swear Me in, Scotty!” mock trial invitational. The CMU Mock Trial program is currently looking for volunteer judges, and since the tournament is virtual this year, you can judge rounds without having to leave your house!

Mock trial is a competitive speech and debate activity where two teams each represent one side of a mock court case. Schools prepare witnesses and attorneys for direct and cross examinations. Volunteer judges preside over the round to rule on objections and score competitors based on their public speaking skills. Volunteer judges are critical for competitors to improve their case before the American Mock Trial Association’s official tournaments in the spring.

At “Swear Me in, Scotty!”, there will be two rounds each day–one in the morning and one in the afternoon–and training will be given to each judge before the invitational. No prior mock trial experience is necessary in order to judge.

If you are interested in judging for CMU’s invitational tournament, register to judge at this Google form. If you have any questions, please contact the Tournament Director, Cayden Codel, at cmumocktrial@gmail.com.

Please join Judge Ryan Holte and his externs for information session regarding Akron’s new Washington, D.C. Externship Program. This program offers students interested in Intellectual Property law the opportunity to gain valuable experience working in a legal capacity for government, public interest organizations, judges, or other related entities.

• Students must have completed at least 29 credit hours and be in good standing to enroll.
