The uniqueness of the MLS program and being able to take a law degree without having to practice law was key in my decision to attend ASU Law. You can gear your program to your needs.

There will be an increasing number of employment opportunities in the industry for well-prepared graduates who understand the legal and business factors involved in solving problems arising in the sports industry. This program melds sports, law and business into Master of Sports Law & Business (MSLB) degree, a unique one-year graduate degree from a university that is top-ranked in law, business, and athletics. Students in the JD, LLM, and MLS programs at the Sandra Day O Connor College of Law at Arizona State University may also emphasize sports law and business as a part of the Sports Law & Business Program.

Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People U.N. treaty systems Testimonials As a student interested in international law and as an individual coming from Afghanistan, when I arrived last year at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, I was eagerly looking for an outlet through which I could not only engage my international interests but most importantly share with fellow students my extensive experience of living, studying, and working in the areas of human rights, rule of law, and justice in a wartorn country. I was looking for something beyond a traditional international law curriculum which exists in every law school. I was very happy to learn about the diverse activities of the Center for Law and Global Affairs. Over the past two semesters, LGA has provided me with many unique learning and networking opportunities through its enriching events. Most important, LGA has served as a great source of help and support for me and many other international students. - Mohammad Asif JD Candidate, Class of 2016 Going into law school, I had the lofty goal of practicing international environmental law without a deep understanding of what the practice entailed. The Center for Law and Global Affairs supported my interest and gave me the tools I needed to make my dream become a reality. Through working with Professor Bodansky on the development of International Climate Change Law, the LGA s sponsorship of my Clinton Global Initiative Project, and traveling to Bogota, Colombia, for an international sustainable development moot court competition, I built a resume and skill set that allowed me to standout in a highly competitive job market. Now, I am employed with Gablehouse and Granberg, an environmental firm in Denver, Colorado, providing the opportunity to work on the complex issues associated with environmental disaster response in developing nations via UNEP s Emergency Awareness and Preparedness programme (APELL). I know, because my employers told me, my work through LGA played a major role in me landing this position. Something I will be forever grateful for! - Evan Singleton JD Class of 2014 The Center for Law and Global Affairs has been tremendous in a number of ways. From helping me pursue my passion for international affairs and assisting in finding an internship in Washington, D.C., in the summer, LGA has gone above and beyond to help me build the connections, both here and in D.C., to make my law school and professional experiences productive and enjoyable. - Daniel Klingenberg JD Candidate, Class of 2017 The Center for Law and Global Affairs has been extremely supportive of my interests in international law and has provided me with many opportunities to engage with members of the international legal community locally, nationally, and abroad. LGA has supported me as I pursue studying and working abroad in Brazil. Its commitment to students is spectacular and upon graduation I know I will make it a point to continue to build a relationship with ASU. - Brenna Carpenter JD Candidate, Class of 2017

Students who choose this program will gain deep and practical knowledge of a growing field, international exposure and expertise, and a strong network of contacts. They will understand the roles of governments, multilateral institutions, international financial institutions, and international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in advancing the rule of law and good governance to protect fundamental rights and promote security, stability, and sustainable economic growth. Faculty Expertise Offerings Juris Doctor (JD): Students take relevant classes in Arizona during their second and third years, and spend the spring semester during one of those years in Washington, D.C., taking classes and working in internships. Master of Laws (LLM): Lawyers having earned a law degree from a U.S. or foreign university have the opportunity to specialize in this area of law, gaining knowledge, contacts, and experience that will help them further their careers.

The LLM program is flexible and is offered in the fall and spring, full-time and part-time. LLM students earn the degree attending courses in Washington, D.C. Master of Legal Studies (MLS): This one-year program provides those not interested in practicing law with valuable legal skills, expertise, and tools to implement the legal structures critical to an impartial and functional judicial system.

The MLS program is flexible and is offered in the fall and spring, full-time and part-time. MLS students earn the degree attending courses in Washington, D.C. Distinguished Professor of Practice Clint Williamson, former U.S. Ambassador for War Crimes Issues, leads the program. He has served as a state and federal prosecutor, a White House policy maker, a United Nations war crimes investigator and prosecutor, and a senior official in peacekeeping missions.

Through earning a JD or LLM in Rule of Law & Governance, lawyers gain deep and practical knowledge of a growing field, international exposure and expertise, and a strong network of contacts. Lawyers will graduate with a greater understanding of policy formulation, crisis management, and decision-making. Whether entering the field on graduation or after years of practice in other areas of law, lawyers in these fields are passionate about their careers and the effect they can have around the world. Non-practicing lawyers benefits: International development jobs in the areas of rule of law, governance, sustainability, and related fields do not always require a law degree. However, knowledge of the law, legal structures, and the foundation for fair justice systems is critical, in both the job and the job search. An MLS in Rule of Law & Governance expands job opportunities, helps in entering this competitive field, and allows graduates to start or improve a career with a broad network of contacts.

I had no idea what area of the law I wanted to pursue when I started law school and took a wide variety of classes looking for my niche. I know that even though I ve moved on to the next stage of my professional career, I can still call on my mentors for advice or with questions, and they will be more than willing to help."

LSI, and classes such as high tech licensing and IP in cyberspace, have sharpened me into a 21 st century attorney able to adequately represent my company in various technological matters. - Jordan C. Redman, Class of 2010 My law career has taken me from national to global in the fields of health care and medical devices - none of which would be possible without the education I received through LSI. In the Silicon Valley, I was surrounded by emerging technologies and it was fascinating, dynamic, and complex. I am now in an emerging technology company and the courses I took in law school have definitely served me well. - K Royal, CIPP/US, CIPP/E, Class of 2004 As a law student, LSI gave me the opportunity to see the legal issues cast by emerging technologies. The technology transfer class, for example, exposed me to the nuances of licensing, informed consent, the regulatory process, and related ethical concerns. Moreover, our team project was to determine the viability of marketing a new invention that was submitted to the technology transfer office of the university. It is because of these invaluable lessons that I learned early on in my career of now 10 years that I am still active with the center both as a fellow and as a member of the community board. - May Mowzoon, Class of 2004 LSI inspired me to redirect my law school focus to emerging technologies. The many courses and variety of programs relating to emerging technologies, as well as the opportunities to research, write, and interact with faculty experts in these areas, were so interesting, innovative, and cutting edge that I spent the majority of my time in law school taking these courses and working within the center. - Blair Moses, Class of 2010 The breadth of emerging technology courses offered at the ASU Law allowed me to pursue my passion for science, innovation, and the law by preparing me for important issues I was either sure to encounter in my career or that I would find fascinating regardless. I found the courses to be engaging, exciting, and innovative. I appreciated being able to branch out from traditional law school curriculum to better hone my skills in areas of the law I was, and still am, most passionate about. - Justin N. Redman, Class of 2010

Patent Practice Program Overview Patent law has become one of the integral ways to protect and commercialize inventions, ideas, and processes. Today, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) does not require a law degree to sit for the patent bar exam. Undergraduates with an engineering or hard science degree can draft and submit patent applications by passing the patent bar exam and becoming a registered Patent Agent with the USPTO. Additionally, many law firms, corporations, entrepreneurial ventures, hire non-lawyers to draft patents. At the Sandra Day O Connor College of Law, at Arizona State University we offer JD and LLM students the opportunity to focus on patent practice, and for MLS students we offer an MLS in Patent Practice. The MLS in Patent Practice provides students with a detailed understanding of patent law and a general understanding of intellectual property and the US legal system. Skills gained enable students to successfully assist clients in securing rights in their patentable inventions. Offerings The MLS in Patent Practice provides a much broader level of expertise and practical experience than commercially available prep courses. Students gain the following skills and expertise: Client Counseling Examiner Interviews Patent Drafting Office Action Responses Foreign Patenting Strategies Infringement Analysis Invalidity Analysis International Filings Patentability Opinions Post-Allowance Practice Post-Issuance Procedures Post-Grant Proceedings Faculty Expertise Michelle L. Gross Director, Lisa Foundation Patent Law Clinic Professor of Practice Michelle L. Gross serves as the Director of the Lisa Foundation Patent Law Clinic while developing and teaching the core curriculum of the MLS in Patent Practice program. Her instructional focus is on training students on the practical applications of laws and rules pertaining to transactional intellectual property practice, namely the practical aspects of patent and trademark application drafting and prosecution. In addition to her membership in the Arizona and Illinois State bars, Professor Gross is also a registered Patent Attorney and is licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Jonathan P. Rowe Adjunct Professor Jonathan P. Rowe is an Adjunct Professor. His instructional focus is on the biotech/chemistry technology fields. He is an ASU Law Alumnus having graduated from ASU with his JD in 2011. He also holds and MS and BS in Food Science & Technology from Brigham Young University. Professor Rowe is a member of the Arizona State bar and licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Clinical Experience The Lisa Foundation Patent Law Clinic serves as the capstone of the MLS in Patent Practice program and provides students with hands-on experience in real-world patent prosecution matters. The clinic is a member of the USPTO s Certification Program for law school clinics in which students who are not yet patent agents receive limited recognition practice numbers to represent clients directly before the USPTO. Through their clinical experience, students work with independent inventors and start-up companies to draft and prosecute patent applications in the USPTO under the supervision of licensed patent attorneys. The clinical experience focuses on building practical skills through client interviewing and counseling, prior art searching, drafting opinion letters, patent applications and office action responses and conducting examiner interviews. Additionally, students learn to conduct validity and infringement analyses while gaining valuable skills such as patent due diligence, valuation, and global patenting strategies. 480.965.6181 PatentPractice@asu.edu law.asu.edu/patentpractice

Patent Practice Patent Agent Trends show that many law firms, large corporations, and other companies that rely on patent prosecution expertise are increasing their hiring and use of patent agents. Patent agents are non-lawyers, but are approved by the USPTO to represent individuals and companies in the patent prosecution process. Not surprisingly, patent agents are well paid. According to the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA), for patent agents having five or fewer years of experience, the average salary is $131,333 and $147,978 for all patent agents employed at law firms who participated in the 2015 AIPLA Economic Survey. Who is eligible? The USPTO has identified specific undergraduate degrees that make the degree holder eligible to sit for the patent bar. Those degrees are: Agricultural engineering Biochemistry Biology Biomedical engineering Botany Ceramic engineering Chemical engineering Civil engineering Computer engineering Computer science Electrical engineering Electrochemical engineering Electronics technology Engineering physics General chemistry General engineering Geological engineering Food technology Industrial engineering Marine technology Mechanical engineering Metallurgical engineering Mining engineering Microbiology Molecular biology Nuclear engineering Organic chemistry Petroleum engineering Pharmacology Physics Textile technology Students with technical backgrounds and/or degrees NOT listed above may still be eligible to sit for the patent bar exam if eligibility can be established under Category B or Category C, as described in the USPTO Office of Enrollment and Discipline s General Requirements Bulletin. Success Story Hockey may have drawn John Liam Norris to Arizona State University, but it was the Master of Legal Studies (MLS) - Patent Practice program at ASU s Sandra Day O Connor College of Law that has kept him in the Grand Canyon State. A native of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Norris graduated from ASU in May 2015 with an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering. Intrigued by the prospect of becoming a patent agent, Norris looked into ASU Law s Patent Practice program. I spoke with Professor Michelle Gross about becoming a patent agent and what that career path entailed, he said. As I learned more about the program and opportunities it opened up, I decided it was the right choice for me. Admittedly, there were a few other incentives for choosing ASU Law. I could continue to play on the ASU hockey team while attending one of the top public law schools in the country, Norris said. Norris said that the patent practice degree helps take careers in new directions. First, it helps degree holders pass the patent bar exam and it provides students with real-world work product samples that can be presented to potential employers. Second, if an individual decides they do not want to take the patent agent path, the degree makes you more valuable to a company, he said. For example, you can work as an engineer and have knowledge of the United States Patent and Trademark Office system. Norris, who earned his MLS Patent Practice degree in May 2016, now works for PING in Phoenix, one of the top manufacturers of golf clubs and golf accessories in the world. He came to PING s attention when representatives of the company attended ASU Law s on-campus interviews. In his new job, Norris combines his knowledge of engineering and patent law. My duties at the company involve patent prosecution, prior art searches, patentability opinions, and freedom to operate opinions, all while working with the engineers to help with input on new designs, he said. Thanks to ASU Law s MLS - Patent Practice program, Norris is already scoring goals in his career. The law school has not only lived up to, but also surpassed the expectations that I had when beginning my program.
