The Center for Intellectual Property Law and Technology

The Center manages the Intellectual Property Law Program at The University of Akron School of Law. Nationally respected, The Center administers one of the most comprehensive intellectual property programs in the country, offering over 20 courses in the field. The Center also administers the law school’s Master of Laws in Intellectual Property program and the joint J.D./LL.M. program in intellectual property law.  The latter program enables students to earn both degrees in three years of full-time study, plus at least one summer session.  The Center also invites distinguished speakers to campus and hosts a highly successful annual symposium - the Richard C. Sughrue Symposium on Intellectual Property Law and Policy, as well as an annual IP Scholars Forum, and other events. 

Center for Constitutional Law

In 1986, in anticipation of the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, the United States Congress established Constitutional Law Centers at four law schools. The University of Akron School of Law was proud to be selected as one of those centers designed to fund resource centers for constitutional law and public education. The primary purpose of the Center is to promote scholarship concerning the U.S. Constitution, to commemorate the creation of that document, and to help illuminate its application to modern times. The Center houses the John F. Seiberling Chair in Constitutional Law, sponsors conferences, conducts research on constitutional law issues and hosts the Ralph Regula Lecture. Past symposia have included "John Bingham and the Meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment" and "Education and the Constitution: Shaping Each Other and the Next Century." The 2008 symposium is entitled The Fourteenth Amendment: The 140th Anniversary Symposium .

The Joseph G. Miller and William C. Becker Center for Professional Responsibility

Joseph G. Miller founded The University of Akron School of Law’s Joseph G. Miller Center for Professional Responsibility in 1993. The Institute is a nonprofit national center devoted to serving the legal profession and the judiciary.The Institute’s first director was William C. Becker. When Mr. Becker passed away in 2003, Mr. Miller chose to rededicate the Institute as the Joseph G. Miller and William C. Becker Center for Professional Responsibility, in recognition of his friend’s leadership for establishing the Institute’s renown throughout the state in the areas of lawyer and judicial ethics, as well as professional responsibility. The center’s general purposes include: the pursuit of appropriate programs and academic activity to enhance ethical awareness and performance of attorneys, judges, and students; the enhancement of professionalism of those who practice, adjudicate and study the law; and the examination, reporting on, and suggesting of improvements in the grievance and disciplinary procedures of the legal profession. A special endeavor has been its sponsorship of annual seminars for members of grievance committees throughout the state, which examine the processes of grievance intake, evaluation and resolution.Thesewell-regarded programs are presented at no cost to the attendees and have developed statewide attention.
