Michael Harrington has come to Cardozo for the past two
years and we keep on inviting him back because he gives some of the
most entertaining and interesting talks of the year. He is a
musicologist and is a expert witness in many infringement
trials. Even though he works with copyright, he is a real
"music guy." In addition to making a bunch of points on copyright,
he spins a lot of music and gives a great presentation.
