The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) presented Joseph R. Newman, JD ’13, with the Jan Jancin Award, one of the top IP student awards in the country, at its annual meeting in October. Associate Dean John Whealan nominated Mr. Newman for his academic and extracurricular achievements. In addition to graduating with honors, Mr. Newman wrote an IP paper about targeted advertising on the web that won the 2012 Finnegan Writing Competition and was later accepted for publication in the AIPLA Quarterly Journal. During his time at GW Law, he worked as a research assistant for two IP professors, interned at four different organizations, and played saxophone in DeNovo, a rock ‘n roll cover band fronted by Randall R. Rader, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
