About
in propria persona is dedicated to law and technology. It is written by me, Kristopher Nelson, a former software developer and systems administrator who graduated from law school in Spring 2009. I am now in a PhD program in the history of science/science studies at UCSD.
The point of in propria persona is, above all, to capture thoughts, ideas, and events that may form the basis of my future academic or professional scholarship or research. It is not legal advice. I am not your attorney. I am not licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. I am not soliciting your business.
Because intellectual property is a core area where the law and technology overlap, it is a key area of interest for me. Additional topics include medicine and public health (e.g., vaccination), constitutional issues, search and seizure (wiretaps, for example), international and transborder law, legal research and writing, education, and government. On the technology front, the rise of social media (blogs, Twitter, etc.) is another core topic.
The primary audience is me: a technologically literate new lawyer looking to capture moments for future reflection. If the focus works for you too, please feel free to listen in or contribute.
Thanks,
