This year, for the first time, HLS offered official continuing legal education online. One lecture and discussion series including this component was taught by HLS professor Terry Fisher, a co-director of the center. He taught a seven-week offering on intellectual property in cyberspace...
...have come to expect advertising everywhere. In his 1991 book Making and Effacing Art, Reid Professor of English and American Literature Philip J. Fisher described how contemporary artists expanded their effects on perception by breaking from eye level and exploring the possibilities of art either on the floor or over the viewer's head.

Theresa, played with empathy and toughness by Mary Beth Fisher, is indeed a victim, but also a strong, fallible, fully realized character.

They look as if they just...
...enabled kiosks in convenience stores and airport terminals, punch in a credit-card number and instantly download two new Mariah Carey songs onto a cassette the size of a pencil tip. When that happens, who's going to bother trawling through thousands of MP3s for the next Fisher? That's why, sitting at a Melrose Avenue cafe early this year, Fisher and Wasserman seemed more relieved than elated. There are now at least 1 million songs available for download on MP3.com "It's already too saturated," Wasserman said. "This is going to become a single-driven business. I mean...
