Thanks for listening! There are three ways we're trying to combine law and software engineering conversations: this podcast, a daily(ish) email at engineeringcounsel.substack.com, and through in person meetups here in Los Angeles. This recording is from our first conference call where a few folks joined in to talk about some interesting legal issues. Hope you enjoy it! Drop me a line if you like the podcast or would like me to cover something!

I'm Michael Rice. I'm a California lawyer, and I host this podcast about legal issues for software engineers. Since I mention my practice in some episodes, it probably qualifies as attorney advertising in California, but I don't think it's going to sound much like an advertisement to you. Software engineers! In today's episode we talk about: 1:54 - today's legal news for software engineers 5:20 - our legal topic of the day: a survey of intellectual property law 12:31 - our legal case of the day: a web developer defeats a $56k judgment!

In this, our first episode, we go a little heavy on Apple -- both the WWDC and Apple v. Pepper --and California but it's a decent first attempt. Since I'm a lawyer and I mention my practice in it, it probably qualifies as attorney advertising in California, but I don't think it's going to sound much like an advertisement to you.
