The Children's Law Society of The John
Marshall Law School is hosting a discussion on domestic abuse and an art
display offering a look at the problem through the eyes of children from 5 to 7
p.m. Oct. 19 at the law school.
Cook County Associate Judge Cheryl
Cesario, a member of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and a
representative of the Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Network will
address the issues of domestic violence.
Nearly two dozen art works by children
who have been exposed to domestic violence will be displayed. The pieces, done
during the children's therapy sessions. depict the violence they have witnessed
and how it has affected their lives and their families.
During the evening's event, a silent
auction will be conducted as a benefit for the Chicago Metropolitan Battered
Women's Network, a group of shelters for battered women and their children.
"The Children's Law Society has chosen
to host this show to raise awareness of the epidemic of domestic violence in
this country," said Laura Presto, the society's president. "More than 3.3
million children are exposed to domestic violence each year and 27 percent of
domestic homicide victims in this country are children."
Collaborating on this event are the
American Bar Association, the Black Law Students Association and the Hispanic
Law Students Association.

Professor Doris Long
Activities 
At the Third Party Liability in
Intellectual Property Law conference Oct. 7 hosted by the High Tech Law
Institute at Santa Clara University, she addressed "Global Solution to the
Intermediation Dilemma." The primary focus of the presentation was on the need
to establish global standards for safe harbors for intermediaries in the
Internet environment, with a principle focus on ISP and P2P liability
standards. Long has been studying international ISP liability standards (both
generally and for intellectual property specifically) for the past several
years. In this presentation, she reviewed the role of intermediaries generally
and examined the general principles extracted from her study of international
ISP liability.
At the presentation, she advocated a
category-based safe harbor for P2P file sharers based on their roles in the
creation/delivery chain. Long warned, however, that any such safe harbor would
be influenced by many of the same problems that have prevented the
establishment of global ISP liability standards. She concluded by briefly
outlining the shape that she thought such a global standard would take and
warned that ISP and P2P liability standards should be developed in tandem. Long
has been working on the issue of intermediary liability the past several years.
Publications
She has been informed that her article
"The Impact of Foreign Investment on Indigenous Culture: An Intellectual
Property Perspective," 23 N.C.J. Int'l L. & Com. Reg. 101 (1998), is
being included in Ashgate Publishing Company's Globalization and Law
series. "I feel honored to have my first article regarding the relationship
between investment and traditional knowledge included in this UK publishing
company's work. It's nice to know that people across the ocean are reading it!"
Professor Mark E. Wojcik
Activities 
On October 6, 2005, Professor Wojcik
presented a contract drafting seminar at McDermott Will & Emery. The
program was entitled "Making It Work: A Writing Seminar for Transactional
Documents."
He spoke on October 7 at Michigan
State University College of Law as part of that law school's first Conference
on International Trade in the Americas. The topic of his presentation was
"Intellectual Property, Cultural Property, and Traditional Knowledge."
He participated in the taping of a
television program for the Illinois State Bar Association on the topic "Out at
Work," based on a CLE program that he previously organized for the ISBA.
He will speak on October 14 at 12:15
p.m. at the Chicago Bar Association on the use of international and foreign law
sources by U.S. courts.
