If you are a student with a degree (or at least two years of coursework) in engineering, computer sciences or the hard sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, or related fields), and are interested in becoming a patent law practitioner, don't miss this opportunity to learn more about the foundations for that career path.

Join Mark Dighton, Practising Law Institute (PLI)’s Director of Law School Relations and Administrative Director of their Patent Office Exam Course, for a conversation about patent careers and the Patent Office Exam that is a gateway to most of those careers. Topics for discussion include: the latest info on the Patent Office Exam, who can take it, how it works (it's online and “on demand”), when you should take it (you don't need to . . . and probably shouldn't...wait until you graduate), and recommendations on when and how to study for this challenging exam.

Scholarships to the other IP programs offered by the Practising Law Institute (PLI) will also be discussed.

Join the American Constitution Society (ACS) and the William Wayne Justice Center in welcoming Attorney Jarrett Adams to speak at the law school. Adams will speak to the connection between trauma and the law, the effects of a system that works against those who have already had difficult life experiences, and how law students and future lawyers can work to change the system.

Adams clerked for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and worked at the Innocence Project before he launched the Law Offices of Jarrett Adams, PLLC. Additionally, Adams is the co-founder of Life After Justice, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing wrongful convictions and building an ecosystem of support and empowerment for exonerees. In Adams’ highly acclaimed first book, he talks about his fight towards exoneration after a wrongful conviction. The memoir follows the aftermath of reclaiming and rebuilding his life after justice and his drive to help other exonerees do it too. Adams earned his Juris Doctorate from Loyola University Chicago School of Law. He was awarded the National Defender Investigator Association Investigator of the Year award for his work with the clemency petition of Reynolds Wintersmith, ultimately granted by President Barack Obama.
