Instructorshave expanded the core offerings in the IP curriculum, andworked hard to encourage and enable students to compete innational patent and trademark moot court competitions. Theyaspire to develop an institute or degree in the IP field just as thelaw school it has done in such areas as communications andsecurities law.Megan La Belle, who will teach a new seminar calledAdvanced Patent Law in the spring, coached the CUA squad thatsuccessfully competed in the American Intellectual PropertyLaw Association’s moot court competition last year. That teamwas among just four teams nationwide to make it to the semifinalround of the national competition.“I believe that this law school has the resources to becomea premium ‘brand’ in IP law,” says La Belle. “It’s just a matter ofletting people in the legal and academic communities, as well aspotential students, know what CUA has to offer.”10CUALAWYER /Fall–Winter 2007
