First, I want to thank everyone who came to BLS to check out BLIP's Legal Hackathon yesterday - the event was incredibly well attended and I think everyone had a good time. Check out http://legalhackathon.blipclinic.org for followup information about the ongoing #HackTheAct competition. I was working the streaming computers yesterday across three different UStream accounts, so we have a lot of video to process. Once we figure out how to move those videos to YouTube, we will also get those up on the Hackathon site.
I also wanted to let everyone know about some plans I had to create a blog about "Gaming Law" - in other words, special intellectual property law problems as applied to the game industry. As a gamer who has been involved with a lot of research about Internet law topics of late, it's only natural, and I figure that it will be a lot of fun! It remains to be seen whether or not I will host that blog here through Joomla or Wordpress or at an external site (such as Tumblr) but I expect to have something up, so stay tuned!
Finally, I have been Tweeting a LOT more recently, so please follow me on Twitter @sean_comerford - you can find a link to the left!

Haven't posted anything for a long time, but I have been quite busy as it's my last semester at law school. I am involved with two great projects this semester: the Trade Secrets Institute that I mentioned in an earlier post and also the Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy (BLIP) Clinic. As "clinicians" we essentially act as a law firm for startup companies in their earliest phases of development, doing things such as trademark and incorporation work. We were recently profiled in Forbes, so check us out.
In other news, I plan to modify this site somewhat in the coming months, to change its current state of gross underutilization. I still plan to revamp the photos section, but recently I have given in to the convenience of Facebook. So for now, if you are my friend, find me and my photos there. Otherwise, my life is only going to get busier and busier as I approach graduation and the bar exam, so wish me luck! Until then, I tend to update my Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn much more often than my own personal site, so find me at those links contained in the left sidebar. |

I'm enjoying my time in Tokyo immensely, but I wanted to post in regard to something that's going on back in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Law School Trade Secrets Institute, a trade secrets law research and website project that I am involved with as a student fellow, just went live recently at http://tsi.brooklaw.edu. The site will be an independent, up-to-date resource on information about new trade secrets decisions and filings countrywide. Check it out, particularly if you are involved in the legal community. |

Hello everyone,
My close friend Chris LaBanca, an actor based in Buffalo, is spearheading a terrific project that is now up on Kickstarter, and I'm trying to help spread the word about it. It's called the Aegis Project, and the goal of the project is to increase awareness of rape on college campuses throughout the Western NY region.
Specifically, the funding from Kickstarter will go towards producing a play entitled "Extremities" that deals with the subject of rape and its grave consequences. Chris plans to tour the play around Western NY colleges and coordinate the performances with other on-campus events, such as rape awareness weeks.
In Chris' own words, the Project is a "theatrical attempt to subdue the epidemic of violence that terrorizes women across college campuses nationwide. Live theatre has the power to inspire, encourage, support, discuss and expose all sorts of ideas, issues and people." Therefore, by forcing audiences to engage the sensitive topic of rape head-on through the play, Chris hopes to use the unique power of theater to start a dialogue that will increase awareness and vigilance at each host college.
Full details, and Chris' more detailed description of the project, can be seen at the Aegis Project Kickstarter page.
Please consider donating, even if you can only manage a small amount. Knowing Chris for many years, I know that he is an incredibly passionate guy who really gives things his all when he puts his mind to it. So when the Aegis Project gets off the ground, you can be sure that it will have a significant impact in the communities that it affects.
Thank you for donating, and please tell your friends and family about this good cause. The Project is a great chance to tackle a terrible problem in a creative, engaging way. |

Posting a bit about my summer plans. I will be studying abroad with Santa Clara University Law School in Tokyo through the end of July, after leaving next Thursday. Really excited about this because it will allow me to combine my love of Japan with the study of law, and the classes will cover IP, International Trade, etc. - all of the areas I have been working on at school. Very much looking forward to this! I'll be sure to post more here on my blog once I get to Japan and get settled in. |
