Joshua Auriemma

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Joshua Auriemma and I’m going into my third year at Penn State Law.  I spent this past summer as a fellow at the Stanford Law School Center for Internet & Society, where I spent the majority of my time working on appellate copyright cases specifically relating to Fair Use under the Copyright Act.  I also have a fair amount of experience with patent litigation.

My background prior to beginning law school was in high-energy, particle, and laser physics. I worked for Fermilab and CERN as an intern, and I worked as a DoD contractor, coding radar algorithms throughout undergrad.

Oh, and did I mention that I’m a huge geek?

Andy Schnitzel

And I’m Andy Schnitzel — also a 2L @ PSU-DSL.  I’ll mainly be ranting about the news and cases I don’t agree with.  I enjoy good espresso, snowboarding, and redefining the term ‘gunner’ to include those who spark debate while keeping class discussion on track.

Laura Bergus

I am a second-year student at the University of Iowa College of Law.  I worked for a municipal government for 10 years in communications and public relations before going to law school. I enjoy making websites and shooting and editing video, both of which I’ve done professionally. I’m interested in improving ways of delivering efficient, affordable and accessible legal services online. I’m also a mom, which keeps the stress of law school in perspective.

Also check out my blog at laurabergus.com, where I ramble about law school, life and social media issues.

Claire Marie

I am a recent law school grad currently focused on studying for and passing the Missouri bar exam.  I’m a performer at heart with a mind suited for legalese when I reel in the daydreams and scheming.  I’m interested in working in a corporate setting (in house counsel openings anyone?) if I’m not discovered to play Sally Bowles in the remake of Cabaret.  And just incase my posts here don’t fill your need for the ramblings of some girl about to have a quarter-life-crisis then you can always visit me at home:  www.theclairemarie.com or on twitter (@theclairemarie) where the nonsense and adventures in life are free flowing.”
