AbstractThis is the edited transcript of a seminar on 27 February 2020 organised at Warwick Law School in appreciation of the work of Peter Fitzpatrick. Peter was seriously ill at the time but was desirous of online participation. Sadly, the seminar was the last public performance by Peter prior to his death. A variety of themes in Peter's work are discussed, including his critique of H.L.A. Hart, his notion of ‘slow reading’, the relationship between theory and grounded engagement with people, the idea of community and relationality, the role of the critic, self-criticism, the impossibility of law, decoloniality, occidentalism, mythologies and governmentality, and the significance of narratives.

The relationship between law and technology is becoming increasingly complex due to the rapid advance of digitization and the development of new and "smart" technologies. Traditional anthropocentric concepts of law seem to be in question. Moreover, the ways in which law is made and applied are changing. In the face of new and adaptive technologies, must law and its enforcement themselves become more adaptive, and how can this be done? In their contributions to the 6th GRUR Young Science conference, young scientists will address these questions from the perspective of intellectual property, media, competition, information and data protection law and will present their theses for discussion at the online conference organized at Bucerius Law School on June 4 and 5, 2021. With contributions by Dr. Jonas Botta, Dr. Michael Denga, Prof. Dr. Philipp Hacker, Dr. Elsa Kirchner, David Korb, David Linke, Janine Marinello, Ferdinand Müller, Stefan Papastefanou, Dr. Joachim Pierer, Darius Rostam, Martin Schüßler, Florian Skupin, Sebastian Theß and Nora Wienfort.

The last thirty years in anthropology, as well as in linguistics and in many of the other social sciences, have been characterized by a shift in theoretical focus from structure to practice. In The Language of Law School: Learning to “Think Like a Lawyer” (2007), linguistic anthropologist and law professor Elizabeth Mertz has brought this practice perspective to bear on the extraordinary linguistic and cultural venue that is the first‐year law school classroom. In revealing the linguistic realities of teaching new students to “think like a lawyer,” she raises fascinating questions about the relationship between language and thought, the subtle effects of legal education, and the nature of law itself.

The University of Pennsylvania Law School has had a long relationship with Chinese students; indeed, it was among the pioneers in the admission of Chinese students in America. To better understand the origin of this affiliation, this article traces the relationship between the celebrated Chinese diplomat Wu Ting-Fang and the then Dean William Draper Lewis, exploring the pivotal role this relationship played in forging the law school’s Chinese ties. The association was cemented when Penn Law School welcomed its first Chinese undergraduate student in 1906 and graduate student in 1908. The lesser known details of these two pioneering Chinese law students’ backgrounds, academic pursuits at Penn Law School and their key achievements upon graduation are revealed in this article as well. Against a backdrop of racial prejudice and the legal subordination of Asian peoples in a new American empire, the personal efforts of men such as Dean Lewis were critical in the admission of the first cohort of Chinese law students to American law schools in the early part of the twentieth century.
