Speaking Engagements

On 27 June, Dean Perritt, in his capacity of Secretary of the Section on Labor and Employment Law of the American Bar Association reviewed labor and employment cases of the most recent Supreme Court term for the LA County Bar Association.

On 28 June, Dean Perritt spoke at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of Secretaries of State in Baltimore encouraging the group to use the Internet as much as possible to improve access to public information, and to resist the temptation to establish state sponsored monopolies over basic public information such as statutes and judicial opinions.

On 29 June, Dean Perritt testified before a Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee in Washington on Internet Jurisdiction issues.  

On 10 July, Dean Perritt and other leaders of the American Bar Association held a press conference in New York on the completion of the Chicago-Kent/ABA Internet Jurisdiction Project.   On 17 July, Dean Perritt and Professor Stewart presented the report of the Project at a Plenary Session of the ABA’s Annual meeting in London.

Professor Ronald Staudt has succeeded in obtaining more than one-half million dollars in grant funding for a major project involving Chicago-Kent, IIT’s Institute for Design, and the National Center for State Courts to understand how information technology can improve access to the legal poor and moderate income persons. 


Global Chicago

Chicago-Kent and the Library of International Relations have accepted the MacArthur Foundation's request that the Global Chicago project be housed at IIT’s Downtown Campus.  Already the project Director, Marti Rabinowtich, the Assistant Director, Scott Waguespack, and the Webmaster, Julian Mulla are working out of their 3rd floor offices to achieve the goal of promoting collaboration among the hundreds of organizations in Chicago interested in foreign affairs.

New Appointment for Dean Perritt

Dean Perritt has been appointed to a three-year term on the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council.

Media Coverage for Chicago-Kent

The PreLaw Insider Magazine has three items about Chicago-Kent in the current issue.  Chicago-Kent is rated as one of the “hottest” law schools in the country with a “temperature” of 81 degrees.   Outgoing SBA President, Paul Miller was quoted regarding distance learning, which he supports enthusiastically.  A picture of Chicago-Kent and Dean Perritt lead a feature article on downsizing.
