Extractions: Francisco Prat Errazuriz becomes the first Duke Law student to receive a Certificate of Merit for meeting the new voluntary Pro Bono Pledge. Duke Law students, faculty, administrators and guest speakers enjoy a break during the overnight Public Interest Retreat. Message from the Associate Dean DukeSpring 2003 Duke Law Magazine features community service. Public Interest is broadly defined at Duke Law School. This Office is for all the students of the school whether or not they expect to spend part of their professional career in the public sector. Lawyers are looked to as leaders in their communities and most are called upon frequently to serve their communities over the course of their careers. Indeed, they are exhorted to do so by the Codes of Professional Responsibility of state bars. Lawyers have many opportunities to serve. The two most obvious ones are careers in the public sector - government and non-profit legal advocacy - and law firm pro bono. However, lawyers also serve as legislators crafting laws, as advisors on non-profit boards, as members of public commissions, and in countless other ways. This public spiritedness of the profession is encouraged and cultivated among Duke Law students. Indeed, most students come to Duke Law already steeped in the ethic of service. These days, the best students are active in community service in high school and college. They do not want to take three years "off" from public service while in law school. Through the Office of Public Interest and Pro Bono, students can maintain their service ethic and engage in intellectual debate on the pressing issues of the day.

American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (AAPL) - Forensic psychiatry is a medical subspecialty that includes research and clinical practice in the many areas in which psychiatry is applied to legal issues.

The GPL Will Win, Claims Law Prof. | The Register Eben Moglen, professor of law, Columbia University, FSF pro bono general counsel for last decade, says no need to fear GPL being tested in US Court, astonished by latest SCO legal tactic to reject GPL validity.

Software By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco Published Tuesday 19th August 2003 08:17Â GMT Getting in touch with The Register after our article According to the Wall Street Journal "It seemed to me," Moglen told us on Saturday, "the responsible thing is to ask if he'd even said such a thing." Moglen says he emailed Heise to check if he had been misquoted. Why? "This is the first sign of irresponsibility. It sheds disrepute on the lawyer who says that," says Moglen. "If the defendant pleads that his permission is the GPL, then his distribution is voided by Section Four," says Moglen. That is designed to prevent parties adding additional terms to the GPL. And that simply voids their right to do so. An example has been "click-wrap" licences which add conditions to the basic GPL. This has successfully prevented anyone successfully making free software proprietary.
