Animal Law Symposium: The Science, Ethics, and Law of Animal Testing in the 21st Century Agenda
September 12, 2009
Center for Animal Studies | Symposium Overview | Speaker Biographies
In this podcast, we invite you to attend a ground-breaking symposium on animals and toxicity testing at Lewis & Clark Law School on Saturday, September 12, 2009.
We may be on the verge of a scientific revolution in how chemicals are tested for toxicity in the United States—with major implications for animal testing.
This daylong symposium explores the scientific, ethical, legal and regulatory challenges and opportunities that are generated by the vision to improve scientific outcomes using alternatives to animal testing contained in the National Academy of Science’s (NAS) National Research Council (NRC) Report on Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century.
These issues are of the utmost concern to anyone interested in:
1) reducing toxins in our environment and dealing with the massive backlog of untested substances;
2) using the best science available to manage risk and advance positive outcomes;
3) improving animal welfare;
4) creating international harmonization of chemical testing standards; or
5) developing effective environmental regulatory policies.
The symposium features nationally recognized speakers with expertise in toxicology, risk analysis, environmental law, animal law, and policy implementation. We provide this opportunity for open dialogue and the exchange of diverse opinions and perspectives with the goal of encouraging the implementation of the NRC’s vision.
We intend to create an environment where candid discussion between experts can flourish and where concrete ideas for moving forward can be proposed and debated. We encourage those with interest and experience in this area to attend and learn from the experts and to share their knowledge.

Business Law Fall Forum – Intellectual Property Remedies Agenda
October 2, 2009
Business Law
This conference will bring scholars and practitioners together to discuss the important field of remedies in intellectual-property law. Recent court decisions have reminded us that remedies are often the tail that wags the dog, whether it be in the form of injunctive relief (eBay), declaratory relief (MedImmune), bet-the-company trademark awards (Adidas), or disproportionate copyright awards (Thomas). Ten commentators who teach, practice, and write on remedies law, intellectual-property law, or both will present papers in a forum setting.

Why this conference?
This second Applied Legal Storytelling conference was imagined and realized because the conference organizers wished to create a sustainable dialogue about the application of storytelling elements to the practice and pedagogy of law. This conference continues the discussion began at the first Once Upon a Legal Time conference held at City Law School in London in 2007. We are committed to spotlighting the concept of a story in ways that will directly and tangibly benefit law students (i.e. future lawyers) and legal practitioners (i.e. former law students).The 2009 conference, Chapter Two: Once Upon A Legal Story will include presentations by over fifty legal professionals from diverse areas of legal study and practice. Presenters will add their unique takes on this new area of legal scholarship that seeks to explore the role of narrative in legal practice and legal education.
