About
TECHLAWADVISOR.com is edited and published by Kevin Heller, a one time NYC intellectual property lawyer who seems to spend alot more time these days with his two young children, on the SoJo side of Philly.
At Cardozo Law School, Kevin received a "concentration" in Intellectual Property Law. He was also the President of the Intellectual Property Law Society and Symposium Editor for the Cardozo Journal of International Law and published what could be considered the definitive manual on cybersquatting in the Cardozo Online Journal of Conflict Resolution: The Young Cybersquatter's Handbook.
Kevin began TECHLAWADVISOR.com in August 2002 as an outlet for the vast amounts of information that he was drinking in via the internet. A lot of his early posts discussed downloading music, deep links and domain names and tend to champion the consumer. Over time, he has attempted to provide useful information with regard to individual's rights and the law and in an early post was even so bold as to state that the goal of the site was to help promote democratic values constitutional principles of freedom and democracy in a digital age and to try to explain how law and technology interact.
Blogger recognized TECHLAWADVISOR.com as a 'Blog of Note' in January 2003 and several other publications have had similar nice things to say.
In 2004, Kevin launched the Induce Act Blog with other distinguished IP blawgers to track the course of that bill through Congress and then in 2005 was part of the birth of Blawg Review, which is the best place to glimpse a peak at depth and breadth of the legal blogosphere. Kevin also maintains the Legal Jobs Blog which was recognized by the WSJ Career Journal and has bold plans for the forth coming launch of Blawgr.
