POV: you’re’a law student moderating a panel in London 🎤🇬🇧

Cody Taylor ‘28, our Toby Prince Brigham Property Rights Fellow, took the mic at the 23rd Annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference to lead a panel on one of the biggest questions in law right now: who owns what in a digital, borderless world? 🌍💻

Think intellectual property, digital assets, and everything you can own but can’t touch. He led that conversation with law professors from across the U.S., and he helped plan the whole conference too 😎

Day 1 of panels is officially in full swing! 🇬🇧🦆

Following a wonderful welcome reception yesterday, the 23rd Annual Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference is diving into today’s main sessions at No. 11 Cavendish Square.

Of course, we couldn’t travel all the way to London without bringing a piece of our favorite campus tradition along for the ride. Our traveling duck is feeling right at home across the pond! ✈️🏛️

Ready for a phenomenal day of legal scholarship and discussion. 📜✨

How is AI changing legal education? ⚖️

Students are arriving at law school having learned with AI, and that changes how we teach. Leslie Street, Director of the Wolf Law Library, and Mads Ball ‘20, Emerging Technologies Legal Practice Librarian, explain.

"They can't get rid of me," Chris Gottfried '09 jokes about his ties to William and Mary Law School, and he's not wrong.

J.D. '09. MBA from the William & Mary School of Business ’09. Now faculty director of the Corporate Compliance Program, MLS program director, Instructor of Finance for the School of Business and, as of this year, Alumni Association Board president too.

As president, he's bringing together his experiences as an alum and a faculty member to strengthen connections between the alumni community and current students, building on the goodwill and collaborative spirit that already exists. For Chris, that's what it means to be a : it's not just about giving back, it's about showing up for your community, at work and far beyond it.

Here's to your next chapter, Chris, we can't wait to see where you take the Board.
