IIPSJ Caribbean IP Program

In 2004, IIPSJ participated in a continuing legal education endeavor conducted at the Norman Manley Law School, as part of a broader effort to establish an academic and professional exchange relationship between the University of the West Indies and the Howard University School of Law. The success of that program has prompted IIPSJ to undertake the development of an ongoing collaboration intended to provide continuing legal education in the field of intellectual property practice.

Initially, American and Caribbean practitioners would develop and present intellectual property CLE seminars at UWI’s various campuses, and in later stages of the program, UWI legal scholars and other Caribbean attorneys would present seminars and lectures at HUSL and at the various American professional associations, corporations, and law firms which sponsor IIPSJ's professional programs and scholarly projects.

IIPSJ has also supported artistic initiatives by Caribbeans living in the D.C. area.

The IIPSJ Program Coodinator for this project is Prof. Sha-Shana Crighton, of Howard University School of Law.
