Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve . I'm Karen Sloan , legal education editor at Law.com, and I'll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education. This week I've got what I'm calling the Ahead of the Curve Lightning Round , where I'm running down a bunch of interesting and fun law school news. (Hard to believe this much is happening in the dog days of summer, right?) First up is New York Law School's new tech-focused Business of Law Institute and a look at what distinguishes the University of California, Irvine School of Law's upcoming tax LL.M. from the pack. I've got a quick update on InfiLaw Corp.'s lawsuits against the American Bar Association, and I couldn't resist checking in on a very special jabot handcrafted by a University of Hawaii William S. Richardson law professor for the one and only Ruth Bader Ginsburg . Not signed up yet to get Ahead of the Curve sent to your inbox each week? Go here.
