About

 

I am an appellate, intellectual property and technology lawyer (professional background).*

Though I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I now live in Newport Beach. While at UCLA (B.A. 1987), I majored in English and earned departmental honors for a thesis on the works of T.S. Eliot. After college, my interests took a more South Campus turn. I began studying computers and technological issues while I earned my law degree from Boalt Hall in Berkeley (J.D. 1990). Today, I am likely to be listening to a podcast, particularly one of the legal variety. I also write Lawgarithms, contribute to Between Lawyers, host an audio series at TWiT.tv called this WEEK in LAW, host another audio series at IT Conversations called Sound Policy, and have a little fun on Vox. My father is a lawyer turned author, whose work I will plug at any opportunity.

* My musings on legal issues posted to my Bag and Baggage weblog or any other are provided as a service to the Web community, and do not constitute solicitation or provision of legal advice. I try to provide quality information, but I make no claims, promises or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the information contained in or linked to from Bag and Baggage. Legal advice must be tailored to the specific circumstances of each case, and laws are constantly changing, so nothing in Bag and Baggage or any other weblog should be used as a substitute for the advice of competent counsel. I am admitted to practice law in California and the Ninth, Sixth, and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, and nowhere else, and do not intend to represent anyone desiring representation in a state where this site may fail to comply with all applicable laws and ethical rules.
