New Center for Law, Technology & the Arts Opens
Case Western Reserve University

I think the opening of this new Center at Case Western will be of
some interest.

===========
A Unique Program: An Introduction from the Director
The ongoing technological revolution of recent years has presented
new opportunities and challenges for our legal system pertaining to
technological innovation and related proprietary rights. There have
also been significant national and international legal and cultural
developments in the visual and musical arts that offer their own
opportunities and challenges. Law and technology and law and the arts
are burgeoning fields that present some of the most exciting,
important, and complex issues facing not only our legal system, but
also the business and technology communities.
The Center for Law, Technology, and the Arts ("LTA") at the Case
Western Reserve University School of Law was established to be an
internationally recognized forum for the inter-disciplinary study of
law, technology, and the arts. The Center for LTA focuses on
teaching, research, and programs pertaining to intellectual property,
technological innovation and technology transfer, the intersection of
science, economics, philosophy, and the law, legal issues concerning
biotechnology and computer technologies, and laws and cultural issues
relating to the creative arts.
Students at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law have
the opportunity to address some of today's most intriguing issues,
such as the relationship between patent law and the sequencing of the
human genome, copyright law's relevance to music and art on the
Internet, the applicability of trademark law to domain names and
metatags, and international issues relating to plundered art,
biodiversity, and cultural property.

Professor of Law
