About the Peter Jaszi Lecture Distinguished Lecture on Intellectual Property

PIJIP’s Distinguished Lecture on Intellectual Property Law is named in recognition of the extraordinary contributions of Professor Peter Jaszi to the study of intellectual property at WCL and in the world at large, and in particular for his lasting contributions to the elevation of the public interest as the paramount concern of the law. PIJIP accepts contributions to support the Peter Jaszi Distinguished Lecture.
