Surprisingly, the garb has not been a distraction and has fostered better discussions and legal skills. These students are practicing appropriate dispute resolution skills — mediation, arbitration and negotiation — in Second Life, the 3-D virtual world where “residents” create characters who can take on any appearance, start businesses, and trade goods and services. In this case, the students create clients and fictitious disputes.

UDSL hosted the 17th annual "Significant Developments in Computer and Cyberspace Law" seminar in June. It was very well attended (about 150 people), with prominent speakers from 4 countries and 8 states on fascinating, cutting-edge law and technology topics. Congratulations to PILT Director Kelly Henrici and the entire PILT team for their hard work and the success of this important seminar! UDSL summer starters recently attended a picnic on the East lawn to celebrate their first month on campus. Parents, spouses, children, siblings, aunts, and even a cousin or two partook in the fun. Lea Craine, UDSL student Dan's wife, put on a magic show for the little ones, and students enjoyed numerous games of cornhole. The leftover food was taken to St. Vincent's Hotel, which greatly appreciated the donation. A yearly traditional faculty/staff picnic will take place later this summer as well as a picnic for more new students in the fall. |
