Description

4:00 – 5:00 pm: Justice Breyer’s Copyright Legacy Part I: Fireside Chat with Justice Breyer and Professor Robert Brauneis (60 minutes – free in person and virtual)
The event will start with a fireside chat between retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer and Professor Robert Brauneis, Co-Director of the Intellectual Property Program at The George Washington University Law School and former law clerk to Justice Breyer during his tenure on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The fireside chat will offer a rare opportunity to hear directly from Justice Breyer about his time on the U.S. Supreme Court and his opinions and dissents in many of the Court’s copyright cases from Eldred v. Ashcroft (2003) to Unicolors v. H&M (2022) and many other highlights from his nearly three decades of service on the Court

5:15 – 6:15 pm: Justice Breyer’s Copyright Legacy, Part II: Academic and Practitioner Panel Discussion. (60 minutes – free, additional cost for CLE credit)
The event will feature a robust panel discussion with academics and practitioners who will debate the myriad of ways that the U.S. Supreme Court’s copyright decisions—and Justice Breyer’s opinions, concurrences, and dissents—have shaped copyright law and practice. In this hour-long discussion, moderator Regan Smith (lecturer of law at The George Washington University and Head of Public Policy, Government Affairs at Spotify) will discuss these issues with Dale Cendali (Supreme Court practitioner and partner at Kirkland & Ellis), Jane Ginsburg (professor of law and director of Columbia’s Kernochan Center for Law, Media, and the Arts), David Nimmer (professor of law, practitioner, and author of the updated treatise Nimmer on Copyright), and Pamela Samuelson (professor of law and director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology at the University of California, Berkeley).
