Designing a Greater System of Protection for Fashion: The Future of Fashion Law

Thursday, February 19, 2015  |  6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Lester Pollack Colloquium, Furman Hall (245 Sullivan Street, NY, NY 10012)

RSVP online by 2/18/15

The panel will examine the current state of fashion law. Our panel members are preparing to speak about the (1) protections currently available to the fashion industry, (2) the possible need for further protection, and (3) the means of providing further protection. We will ask each panelist about current developments in the law regarding several current protections: copyright, trademark, design patent, trade dress, and utility patent. We will also contemplate why the United States has not implemented as strong protections for fashion as several European nations and whether those protections may be a good alternative to relying heavily on the existing protections. Our panel moderator will be Barbara Kolsun.

A reception will follow the panel.

Each year, the Law School sets aside a small amount of funding to support student groups and journals interested in putting on intellectual programming during the school year. In the past, this funding has been awarded by a group known as the Symposium Funding Committee. This year however, the committee has been renamed the Student Intellectual Life committee, and has broadened its scope.  While traditional symposia can still be proposed, the committee will now accept proposals for a variety of different programs (often lesser in scale). Click here for the formal application with requirements and additional information.  The deadline for applying for funding for next year is Monday, March 2, 2015.  If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact Paul O’Grady, the Director for Student Affairs at paul.ogrady@nyu.edu  or 212-998-6397.

The Office of Graduate Affairs is pleased to announce the start of the Global Leadership Skills Series. This Series aims to teach students “soft” skills that are valuable in the workplace for becoming effective leaders.

The first two sessions will be led by Vice Dean Jeannie Forrest (Ph.D. in Applied Psychology). She will provide an overview and practical guidance on emotional intelligence (EQ). These interactive workshops will help you hone the skills of self-awareness and self-management so that you are better equipped to manage the many and varied professional interactions that you will encounter throughout your career.

EQ, also known as “the other kind of smart,” involves a skill set that many lawyers have come to recognize as the key attribute of true leaders in the legal profession. Increasingly, legal employers are screening candidates based on their demonstrated ability to manage themselves and relationships with others. They want to know that they are hiring someone who has the ability to work well with a broad range of personalities in a variety of settings.

Students that attend three out of the four installments of the GLS Series will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Upcoming GLS sessions:
Feb. 9 – Becoming an Effective Leader – Emotional Intelligence for Lawyers, Part II; presenter Vice Dean Jeannie Forrest
Feb 17 – Learning from True Leaders – Do’s and Don’ts of Leaderships; presenter Rocco Andriola JD ’82, LLM ‘86
Feb 23 – Say What? Communicating Effectively as a Leader; presenter Jeffrey Bannon

On February 10, 1961, the 32-year old Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a speech on the campus of New York University. Dr. King’s speech entitled, “The Future of Integration,” advocated for civil rights and nonviolent protest for social change. He said, “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”

As we prepare to celebrate the 10th Annual NYU MLK Week, we are eager to continue the conversation around action and lead our community to live beyond the dream of Dr. King. The 2015 NYU MLK Week event theme “Beyond A Dream” will serve as a guiding force to commemorate Dr. King’s honor and vision to make the world a better place. Three concepts – Reflect, Engage, Ignite – will be explored during this week of conversation and action. The highlight of the week will be the NYU MLK Week University-Wide Event on Thursday, February 5th.
