Law Courses on iTunes U

By Simon Fodden

One of the richest sources of podcasts is the iTunes Store and particularly its iTunes U, where universities can make their audio and video materials available generally.¹ Yale is here, MIT, Stanford and a couple of dozen more — and from Canada there’s Concordia and Queen’s, with at least York to follow, I believe. Until recently this was great for a history lesson or that shot of engineering you found yourself craving after a hard day in court. But now New York Law School is on the board. There are more than a dozen topics, most with more than one lecture in the folder: there are three on legal education, for example, eight on civil liberties, three in business law. I’m downloading the movie of a lecture on The Shape Shifting Subject Matter of U.S. Patent Law, by John Squires and Thomas Biemer. Sounds about right for popcorn, no?
