7th Annual Junior Scholars in Intellectual Property (JSIP) Workshop

Michigan State University College of Law
Intellectual Property, Information & Communications Law Program (IPIC)

The JSIP Workshop offers a unique opportunity for junior scholars* writing in the areas of intellectual property, communications, and cyberlaw to receive detailed commentary on their work from established scholars in a focused workshop setting. Articles will be chosen through a blind-review selection process.

Participants are expected to cover their own travel costs and commit to attend the entire Workshop. Hotel accommodation and meals will be provided by MSU Law.

*Eligible junior scholars have seven or fewer years of full-time teaching experience.
