American University Washington College of Law (WCL) will host the first annual Global Congress on Public Interest Intellectual Property Aug. 25-27, 2011. The Global Congress will be co-hosted by WCL’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property, Fundação Getulio Vargas’s Center for Technology and Society (Brazil), the American Assembly at Columbia University, the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (Geneva), and the Institute for Global and International Studies at George Washington University.
he Global Congress on Public Interest Intellectual Property is being created as an alternative forum to the annual industry-organized Global Congress Against Counterfeiting and Piracy, which was one of the main incubators for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and other components of the ongoing enforcement agenda in international intellectual property law. The enforcement agenda has come under increasing scrutiny from public interest advocates and independent researchers, including through the recently released Media Piracy in Emerging Economies report. Taking these research and advocacy interventions as a starting point, the Global Congress on Public Interest Intellectual Property will serve as a site for the sharing of research, ideas and policy proposals for how international intellectual property law should be constructed to better protect the full range of global public interest concerns.
The form for submitting paper and presentation proposals will be up by April 15, 2011. This is not a deadline. (Correction from original post March 29, 2011) mw

Here is an announcement from Samuel J. Levine (Touro).
On behalf of the Jewish Law Institute at Touro Law Center, I am pleased to announce the initiation of the Jewish Law Syllabus Project.With the continuing emergence of Jewish Law as an area of focus in both the American law school curriculum and American legal scholarship, recent years have seen an expansion of law school courses and centers dedicated to exploring various aspects of Jewish Law. The aim of the Jewish Law Syllabus Project is to help facilitate this increasing attention to Jewish Law in American law schools, through the compilation of a collection of syllabi from Jewish Law courses. This collection will serve as a resource, for scholars who are interested in undertaking the teaching and study of Jewish Law, as well as for those who are currently pursuing these fields.
Toward that goal, I would like to invite you to participate in the Jewish Law Syllabus Project. I would appreciate if you would send to my attention copies of Jewish Law syllabi, from both current and past courses, taught by you and/or others. Please send email attachments, to: slevine [at] tourolaw.edu ; or printed copies, to: Touro Law Center, 225 Eastview Drive, Central Islip, NY 11722.
I thank you in advance for your participation, and I welcome any questions and comments you may have about the project.
