Ecology's Golden Anniversary
The Modern Environmental Movement draws from much older traditions, but the scientific study of relationships between organisms and their natural environment really exploded following the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring." The policy response to this study led to the creation of many of the laws and law practice specializations which we call Environmental Law. Last year, John H. Adams '62 and his wife Patricia Adams published an account of the history of the Natural Resources Defense Council titled, "A Force for Nature." The Adams, along with Professors Ryke Longest and Michelle Nowlin '92 of the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, will discuss the role that the Adams' work at NRDC has played in the past fifty years in influencing environmental policy generally. Ryke and Michelle will also highlight the ways in which the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic's students are building on this legacy to influence environmental policy.Published 3 weeks ago

Patent Law Careers
Patent agents or scientific advisors at law firms assist firm partners in due diligence, litigation, and opinions, but do not hold law degrees (although advanced science degrees are required). A scientific advisor at a law firm will deal with cutting-edge science every day, and this kind of work has the potential to expose the employee to a broader range of science and technology than would a career in research.PhDs who are hired as scientific advisors do not have to go to law school but are often expected to become patent agents and to draft, prosecute, and secure patents. Some firms will pay for an employee's law school in order for him or her to become a patent attorney. http://postdoc.duke.edu/Published 4 weeks ago
