I stumbled upon this article just after we had the conversation about how the Supreme Court would do well to have a Justice that is familiar with IP Law.
Based on the information on the website, it seems like the fact that UNH is bringing in an IP Law expert is directly connected to promoting intellectual property. She is familiar with developing and running law clinics to support entrepreneurship in the local community, thus bringing important experiential learning skills to the university. As states and the ABA continue to require experiential/clinical learning experience, there is little doubt that this will continue to happen across legal academia.
It will be interesting to see how Intellectual Property at UNH continues to grow, as well if we will see other experts begin to enter Law School Administration.
