The High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University School of Law has a terrific series of three events over the next few weeks. I hope to you can join us.

Originality, Software and Moral Rights (details here)

March 22, 2007, 5-7pm

Professor Roberta Rosenthal Kwall, DePaul University College of Law, will lead a discussion on the nature of creative endeavors, the role of moral rights, protection, and the application of these principles to software development. This should be a great event for technology lawyers who wrestle with moral rights issues when doing overseas development. RSVP to Jasmine Pilgeram by March 19, 2007.

This event qualifies for 1 hour of general CLE credit. Santa Clara University School of Law is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider.

Virtues and Vices of Open Source Software with Eben Moglen (details here)

March 26, 2007, 5:30-6:45pm

Professor Eben Moglen, Columbia Law School, of GPL fame/infamy, will discuss his views on the merits of open source software development (and, I anticipate, the demerits of commercial software development), followed by some commentary/pushback by Prof. Geof Bowker and myself. Eben is a colorful, dynamic and frequently hyperbolic speaker, so I expect this event will be very fun and maybe a little controversial. If you work with open source software, this should be an especially interesting event. RSVP to Sherrill Dale by March 22, 2007

Bay Area Legal Blawgers Event (details here)

March 28, 2007, 6-8pm

We now have over 20 Bay area blawgers who have said they are coming, plus a few other non-blogging luminaries. (I’m constantly updating the original post to reflect the master list of attendees). This should be a great opportunity for local bloggers to meet-and-greet and trade tips. RSVP to me by March 26, 2007

This event qualifies for 1 hour of general CLE credit. Santa Clara University School of Law is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider.
