"In Memoriam: Prof. Dan Burk"

|The Volokh Conspiracy |


I was very sad to hear yesterday of the untimely death of Prof. Dan Burk (UC Irvine), a leading scholar of intellectual property and of Internet law. I often ran into him and his work, and always much appreciated his contributions. Eric Goldman (Santa Clara) has an excellent remembrance, which I highly recommend.
