Welcome to my website.

I’m a member of the faculty at St. Thomas University School of Law, where I teach intellectual property, cyberlaw, and civil procedure.  I write on intellectual property and technology.  You can read more at my weblog digital garbage or find me online at Twitter.  Law students may be interested in my ongoing series of posts on “Advice for New Law Students.”
