Professor H. Brian Holland will spend the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 academic years as a visiting associate professor of law at Penn State Dickinson.
Professor Holland teaches Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Internet Law and Intellectual Property. Professor Holland's scholarship attempts to bridge these areas of study, with a particular emphasis on issues of governance within the online environment.
After graduating from law school, Professor Holland spent two years as a judicial clerk in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He then joined the Washington, D.C. office of Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue. His work with the firm consisted primarily of appellate work before the U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts of appeals, as well as international arbitration before the World Bank. Among the significant cases litigated during this period were issues of intellectual property and constitutional law (Eldred v. Reno/Ashcroft and Luck's Music Library, Inc. v. Reno/Ashcroft), privacy and identity theft (TRW v. Andrews), and federal bankruptcy jurisdiction and venue. Professor Holland left the firm to pursue an LL.M. at Columbia University School of Law, completing a self-designed program in Computers and the Law with a focus on intellectual property and constitutional theory. Prior to his appointment to Penn State Dickinson, Professor Holland spent four years on the faculty of Barry University School of Law in Florida.
