Dickinson Law Students on Zoom | Penn State Abington, Berks & Harrisburg Events

By: Samantha Prince

In April 2020, three Dickinson Law student members of the Business Law Society took to Zoom to lead a pop-up clinic for Penn State Launchboxes located in Abington, Berks and Harrisburg! The clinics addressed how to decide whether to license and invention or start a company. Our speakers were Gregory Archibald, Sarah Phillips and Sarah Zomaya, all 3L students about to graduate. We were all excited to still be able to fulfill our mission of helping entrepreneurs despite the shelter-in-place orders.

Following the presentations, law students and I engaged in casual Q&A conversations via chat on Zoom. We were able to answer a lot of great questions!

Special thanks to 2L Alexis Shovel who organized these events! We are already booked for more events in the future, whether they be virtual or in person! Stay tuned.
