• Brosius, Mark [mbrosius@kentlaw.edu]
  • Hello, all. My name is Mark Brosius and I attend Chicago-Kent College of Law.

I'm an aerospace engineer by degree but not by trade. Hopefully the discussions in this class prove to be as enlightening as the other material has so far.

  • Hi, My name is Donna Kennedy. I'm a 2L at Chicago-Kent College of Law, where I'm enrolled in the certificate program in IP. Law is my third career, and my interest in IP stems from its connection to my first career of ten years in the broadcasting of sports television, and secondarily to my long interest in the world of science,(I am a critical care nurse) which may be more linked to patent law than copyrights, but the connection is there. I am very busy this semester with trying to balance personal commitments and trying to keep full steam ahead in law school. By that I mean that I am having a baby this Thursday, my first at age 45, and attempting to keep up with this course, trial ad 2, con law and forensic evidence. Wish me luck! I already have a great partner, so the rest will just be luck and the ability to survive prolonged sleep deprivation and still read a lot! I am also the TA for Justice this semester, which entails teaching philosophical discourse to those who would rather die, I think, than be forced to learn it. Oh, well. It will be a test of character for all involved.

Another is a general interest in copyright law, how it interacts with the 'Net, both with original Web content and copies of existing authorship, and an overall curiosity about the subject area. Finally, the appeal of using the Web to further my education was too enticing to resist. I'm looking forward to learning with all of you.

I originally came here for Environmental Law but last spring semester I took IP Law and knew exactly what I wanted to practice. I enjoy all aspects of IP, especially areas dealing with Trademarks. I think this is a fascinating way to take Copyright Law (or any course for that matter) and it really makes for a wide variety of thoughts and discussions. I also know that many IP issues fall under the umbrella of business law, so I have taken a lot of business law courses. I have a Bachelor of Science from Michigan State in Environmental Science, with an emphasis in the core science curriculum, so I will be taking the Patent Bar in the spring. Wish me luck.

Whether I can do that or not, I think the next decade will be an exciting time to participate in the development of this changing field.
• Willbanks, Stephanie
  • Greetings! I am Stephanie Willbanks, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Vermont Law School. This is the beginning of my 20th year here in South Royalton. I am monitoring this course for the dozen students participating from Vermont Law School. I am very interested in the technology and how effective this type of teaching is. I am looking forward to feedback from the Vermont Law School students on the pedagogy of this course. I am also interested in copyright issues that relate to academic issues. What is fair use? When does a faculty member need to obtain permission to copy and circulate materials to her students? What about showing a movie, or a clip from a movie, in class? Stephanie J. Willbanks Associate Dean and Professor
