As part of this year's student orientation, a volunteer project has been organized with Kentucky's Habitat for Humanity. Since space is limited, first-year students will receive priority.  Where & When:  Volunteers should arrive at the construction center at 1631 Rowan Street (one block north of the intersection of 17th & W. Main Street) at 8:30 AM.  They will provide a brief introduction about Habitat before the group heads to one of their construction sites.  Most of them sites are within 2-3 miles of the construction center.  Volunteers are expected to work on site until 3:30 PM.  What to Bring:  Habitat provides all of the tools and materials. They also have plenty of water on site.  A pair of work gloves is recommended.  What to Wear:  Dress in work clothes appropriate for the weather. Sturdy shoes are a must - work boots, hiking boots or athletic shoes.  A cap is recommended on hot sunny days.  Types of Construction Projects:  Volunteers work on nearly every facet of home construction, helping with dozens of tasks including preparing the site for construction, framing, insulating, siding, hanging drywall, painting and landscaping, just to name a few. Lunch:  Lunch is provided on Saturdays.  Inclement Weather:   It is rare that they cancel a work day due to weather but will do so if they feel the work conditions are unsafe. They will e-mail or call the team's leader if they need to cancel due to weather. Volunteers may also call Habitat's construction center at 583-0332 if the weather is questionable the morning of your workday. Release and Waiver of Liability:  All volunteers are required to sign a release and waiver of liability which is attached. Volunteers under 18 must have the form signed by a parent or legal guardian.  All volunteers must be at least 16.

2 CLE ethics hours have been approved by the Kentucky Bar Association. The University of Louisville will host the second annual Conference on Innovation

and Communication Law
on August 21 and 22, 2009. The Conference, a follow-up to the 2008
conference held in Turku, Finland
, is a cooperative effort of the
University of Louisville School of Law, University of

Turku Faculty of Law, Drake University Law

School, Michigan State University

College of Law, and the IPR Center in Helsinki,

Finland. This year's conference will focus

mainly on the role intellectual property and communications law play in the

dissemination of information. As a result, discussion will focus less on the creation of

rights, and more on how the legal system helps (or hinders) the development of

knowledge. For example, we anticipate one or more sessions dealing with licensing and

franchising issues. Other possible topics might include the role of intellectual property

registration, the law governing trade secrets and confidential information, remedy issues,

and the special case of university inventions and works. Because many of the

participants will come from countries other than the United States, proposals with an

international or comparative law perspective are especially encouraged.   

Start: 5:30 pm
