On November 12, 2010, the Vanderbilt University Law School held a service to commemorate the life and career of Professor Richard A. Nagareda, a leading civil litigation scholar whose work focused on aggregate litigation. Speaking at the ceremony were J. Maria Glover, Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School; Professor John C.P. Goldberg of Harvard Law School; Dean Chris Guthrie of Vanderbilt University Law School; Professor Samuel Issacharoff of New York University School of Law; and Professor Suzanna Sherry of Vanderbilt University Law School. In the pages that follow, these individuals share tribute essays based largely on the sentiments they expressed to the Vanderbilt community during the memorial service. Andrew R. Gould, clerk for Judge Lee H. Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and alumnus of Vanderbilt University Law School, introduces the memorial compilation.

Our current Roundtable is on Golan v. Holder, which is to be argued at the Supreme Court on October 5, 2011. In Golan, the Court will consider whether Congress may constitutionally confer copyright on works that have fallen into the public domain. Congress created a new class of “restored” works in 1996 in order to fulfill its obligations under the Berne Convention, an international copyright treaty.
