LESA Event

Law and Entrepreneurship Student Association

Law of Beer

October 22, 2008
7:00 p.m.
Room 110

This event is far more than just a good time to drink good beer.

In fact, the beer drinking is incidental to the discussion of legal issues surrounding the creation and operation of internationally recognized breweries.

Topics range from administrative/local government law to intellectual property rights to fundamental constitutional questions.

This year's panel of speakers are:

Jeff Althouse, co-owner of Oakshire Brewery (formerly Willamette Brewery)

John Bryant, COO of O'Dell Brewing Company in Fort Collins , CO

Jamie Flynn, co-owner of Ninkasi Brewing Company

Jack Joyce, CEO/Founder of Rogue Ales

Paul Romain, Attorney, wine and beer lobbyist

The panelists that attend this event have a practical perspective on life and the law. They offer distinct viewpoints on the application of legal skills to the real world that often escape the normal theoretical discussions one finds in a stuffy law school classroom. LESA also sponsors events such as Law of Wine, In-House Counsel forums, Intellectual Property and Venture Capitalists panels, in addition to offering business cards and local wine. http://www.law.uoregon.edu/org/cle/lesa.php
