L to R: Sharra Brockman, Chrissie Scelsi, and Matthew HintzPre-order today! The ABA's newest publication, "Careers in IP Law: Avenues and Opportunities," is now available from the American Bar Association's Section of Intellectual Property Law. Click here to order a copy.
I had the chance to flip through a copy of the book at the Intellectual Property Law Conference in Washington, D.C. last week and highly recommend getting a copy. If you are a law student, I was told you can qualify for a free digital copy!
"This is a great resource and provides a fantastic discussion of what it takes to practice in IP areas," says Griffin Barnett, a third-year law student at American University Washington College of Law. "It offers excellent advice to both law students and young lawyers looking to practice intellectual property law."
