Hello everyone,
My close friend Chris LaBanca, an actor based in Buffalo, is spearheading a terrific project that is now up on Kickstarter, and I'm trying to help spread the word about it. It's called the Aegis Project, and the goal of the project is to increase awareness of rape on college campuses throughout the Western NY region.
Specifically, the funding from Kickstarter will go towards producing a play entitled "Extremities" that deals with the subject of rape and its grave consequences. Chris plans to tour the play around Western NY colleges and coordinate the performances with other on-campus events, such as rape awareness weeks.
In Chris' own words, the Project is a "theatrical attempt to subdue the epidemic of violence that terrorizes women across college campuses nationwide. Live theatre has the power to inspire, encourage, support, discuss and expose all sorts of ideas, issues and people." Therefore, by forcing audiences to engage the sensitive topic of rape head-on through the play, Chris hopes to use the unique power of theater to start a dialogue that will increase awareness and vigilance at each host college.
Full details, and Chris' more detailed description of the project, can be seen at the Aegis Project Kickstarter page.
Please consider donating, even if you can only manage a small amount. Knowing Chris for many years, I know that he is an incredibly passionate guy who really gives things his all when he puts his mind to it. So when the Aegis Project gets off the ground, you can be sure that it will have a significant impact in the communities that it affects.
Thank you for donating, and please tell your friends and family about this good cause. The Project is a great chance to tackle a terrible problem in a creative, engaging way. |

I'm enjoying my time in Tokyo immensely, but I wanted to post in regard to something that's going on back in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Law School Trade Secrets Institute, a trade secrets law research and website project that I am involved with as a student fellow, just went live recently at http://tsi.brooklaw.edu. The site will be an independent, up-to-date resource on information about new trade secrets decisions and filings countrywide. Check it out, particularly if you are involved in the legal community. |

Posting a bit about my summer plans. I will be studying abroad with Santa Clara University Law School in Tokyo through the end of July, after leaving next Thursday. Really excited about this because it will allow me to combine my love of Japan with the study of law, and the classes will cover IP, International Trade, etc. - all of the areas I have been working on at school. Very much looking forward to this! I'll be sure to post more here on my blog once I get to Japan and get settled in. |

I'm finally done being a 2L! It feels great, and I may finally have time to get this site up to speed again. For now, just a brief update: I will be studying abroad in Tokyo with Santa Clara Law School this summer, and while I am there and when I get back, I will be working on a trade secrets law project as a Brooklyn Law School Trade Secrets Institute Fellow. I am very pleased about these developments and it's really nice to finally feel like I'm getting somewhere in law school!
I intend to revamp this site and post on it more frequently soon, and I would really like to modernize the photos section. For now, for more frequent updates, please check out my Facebook page because that is what I update the most frequently. |
