Creative Nerve: What It’s Really Like to Start a Business

Legally creative. Many changes are coming to Geniocity.com. Any business needs to grow and evolve, but especially one championing imagination and innovation, so we’re working hard to turn this site into a place where you can expect to find something fresh and different every time you visit.

To that end, I’m proud to announce that Peter Friedman, associate professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, will join our roster of bloggers starting Monday, Aug. 2.

Peter, who specializes in legal analysis and writing at Case (click here) and regularly guest-teaches in such disparate places as The Netherlands and Detroit, will write for Geniocity.com about the creative cutting edge of the legal profession.

For those of you who think the law and creativity are separated by continents, if not galaxies, let me point out that technology, government policy, social trends and other forces constantly require the law to adapt in unforeseen ways. Look what Internet access has done to copyright law: How will artists get paid for their work if everyone can find music, pictures, writing and video for free on the Internet? Consider the questions that surveillance technology – security cameras, satellites, GPS-equipped cell phones and cars – raises about our constitutional right to privacy. And which locker room – men’s or women’s? – should an as-yet-surgically-unchanged transsexual be required to use? 

A furiously changing world demands some pretty inventive thinking about the rules we live by. Peter will explore that thinking and unveil the latest, fascinating twists reshaping our legal landscape and our lives. 

So look to Geniocity for briefs of a different cut.  And that won’t be all.
