Horace S. Manges Lecture: Litigating Fair Use by Dale Cendali
Kirkland partner Dale Cendali will deliver the prestigious Horace S. Manges Lecture on March 25, 2024 at Jerome Greene Hall at Columbia Law School in New York City.
Dale will discuss the litigators' role in shaping the legal doctrine by developing the facts of a given case and establishing its ties to existing law. She will conclude with some brief thoughts on current issues in litigating fair use, including the increased focus on the second factor, the greater attention now being paid to the role of juries in deciding fair use and how artificial intelligence is affecting the legal landscape.
