The Future of Constitutional Democracy Conference: Day 1

Described by one partner at a top law firm as “the most practical tool I’ve encountered in my 20 years of practicing,” the Women in Law Institute is an all-day, intensive workshop for law students, judicial clerks, and LL.M.’s. Participants can look forward to expert presentations on the essential skills for navigating a successful career in law: effective communication, self-promotion, and networking. Following each lecture, students work in small groups led by distinguished practitioners (3:1 ratio) to perfect these skills through practice and individualized critiques in a supportive environment.

The Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal is happy to announce that it will be hosting this year's Symposium on February 22nd, 2019. It will include speakers from academia, the judiciary, and both government and private practice. Our theme this year is the administrative state and its effect on intellectual property practice- a theme commented on by many, including the Supreme Court, in recent years. Students, faculty, alumni, and anyone else interested in intellectual property should come check out this great event.

The Institute for Transnational Law invites you to a distinguished lecture by Rod E. Wetsel. The title of the lecture is “How to Negotiate and Draft a Wind Energy Lease with a Look at New Developments in Wind Law.” Wetsel will talk about both wind leases and new developments, including legislation on wind.

Wetsel received his J.D. from The University of Texas School of Law in 1977. He taught Wind Law at The University of Texas at Austin School of Law, where he served as as adjunct professor, from 2012-2018. He currently serves as adjunct professor at Texas Tech University School of Law. In 2011, Wetsel co-authored the first treatise on Texas Wind Law with Professor Ernest Smith, Steven DeWolf, and Becky Diffen. He is a frequent speaker on wind energy issues throughout the United States.
