In our second edition of "Faculty Voices," our new series of op-eds from Seattle U Law professors, the Center for Civil Rights and Critical Justice advocates on behalf of the July bar exam candidates who were seated in the accommodations room.

We're biased, but we think the Student Organization Fair and Welcome Barbecue are some of the most fun parts about coming back to school! Dozens of student organizations, co-curricular groups, student services, and legal associations set up shop in Sullivan Hall to connect with other students and let people know about the exciting events they have coming up this school year. The sun came out in time for everyone to catch up after the summer break over burgers and hot dogs in the courtyard. Welcome back, Redhawks!

"The trademark infringement comes down to, if you think of brands, the chance that a consumer is going to be confused," said Tapia, an intellectual property law expert.
