Creating A Lasting Legacy To Honor One of Pierce Law's Finest
Franklin Pierce Law Center's $500,000 Campaign to create the Karl F. Jorda Professorship in Patent Law will provide, in perpetuity, opportunities for the Law Center to attract internationally acclaimed patent law professors who are both talented classroom teachers and powerful voices in IP research.
An endowed professorship is one of the highest honors Franklin Pierce Law Center can bestow upon a member of its faculty. The Karl F. Jorda Professorship in Patent Law will honor Professor Jorda's distinguished tenure as the David Rines Professor of Intellectual Property Law and Industrial Innovation Director, Germeshausen Center and continue to advance the field of Patent Law through practice and research.
"Karl is perhaps the quintessential example of a true professional," says Pierce Law President and Dean John D. Hutson. "He is one of the most respected and beloved lawyers I have ever met. There are some brilliant lawyers and some nice lawyers, but not many brilliant, nice lawyers. Karl is one of very few. He is a perfect gentleman and an IP icon around the world."
Among his many honors, Professor Jorda received the 1996 Jefferson Medal for his exceptional contributions to the U.S. intellectual property law system. In 2007, Jorda was inducted into the global Intellectual Property Hall of Fame.
With your support of this prestigious new appointment, Professor Jorda's legacy will enhance the Franklin Pierce Law Center community and its global impact long after his retirement. We hope you will join us in honoring Professor Jorda by making a contribution today. Your investment in The Karl F. Jorda Professorship in Patent Law will endow a salary supplement to attract and retain a faculty member considered preeminent in the field of patent law.
