Indiana University Law School's Symposium on Globalization
Thursday, April 6, I'll be participating in Indiana University Law School's "Globalization Conference," organized by my good friend Prof. William Henderson. From the summary of the symposium:
"Much has been written on the process of globalization and its effects on international and individual state law. The impact of globalization on the legal profession has received far less systematic attention, despite a universal recognition that the practice of law and the economic and personal lives of lawyers may be on the brink of profound transformation.
"The purpose of this unique symposium is to initiate dialogue about how globalization is fundamentally changing the work lives and professional opportunities of lawyers in the U.S. and abroad. Prominent figures in the global legal industry will explore various interrelated themes on the issues facing legal profession, including law firm strategy, the relevance of geography, the lawmaking role of transnational lawyers, and how cultural norms affect or shape our perceptions of ethical lawyering. The program will include presentation of scholarly papers and responses by symposium participants."
Some of those participating include R. Bruce McLean, Chairman of Akin-Gump, Patrick McKenna of Edge International, Larry Ribstein. and yours truly.
You can register here ($50 for IU alumni, $100 for everyone else) and find out how to get to Bloomington here. Earn CLE credit (woooheee!).
Having been to Bloomington previously and enjoyed the Law School's hospitality, I can report that it is a quintessential Midwestern college town, with the brick sidewalks, shady avenues, frat-house row, and surfeit of used bookstores that are de rigueur.
