approaches for Laura’s law school career. Although a long-time Ottawan,
she plans to become a West Coast girl at least until such time as she
officially becomes a Lawyer. She practices Bikram yoga with aplomb but
surprisingly little flexibility. She enjoys learning of any kind, and
words-of-the-day (see ‘aplomb’). She is a committed Toronto Blue Jays
fan, and is notorious for streaming games over the internet when they
are not being televised. Yes, even spring training games. Laura has
recently decided to take up the violin, and is routinely shamed by the
much younger virtuosos in her internet classes. Luckily, they make
rubber mutes for those kinds of things. Otherwise Laura would also be
in trouble with her neighbours. |

Adrienne was once told she was the “quintessential middle child, with
the added bonus of a ‘curly-hair personality.’” She took this as a
compliment and strives to finds its meaning everyday. Her greatest
inspiration is her grandmother, who lived restrained in a time when
educational opportunities did not exist for women; because of this,
Adrienne never takes for granted her participation in the academic
world.
Adrienne completed an undergraduate degree in media studies and a
diploma in journalism. She enjoys lingering at the intersection between
media and law. Pondering the impact that the internet and digital
communication is having on copyright and the value of intellectual
property takes up many hours in her week.
When she is not pondering issues related to law and media, she is
enjoys exploring the great outdoors with her sidekick, Kirby, the
Australian Sheppard, or reading some of Canada’s finest news media with
the assistance of her feline pals, Surrey and Athena.

Daniel Albahary is
in the second year of the combined four year LL.B/ J.D programme at
uOttawa. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science with
High Honours from Carleton University in 1997. Before coming to law
school, he worked in both the Toronto entertainment and technology
fields. His academic interests lie in copyright, intellectual property,
and privacy law. He closely monitors his collection of motion picture
cameras for something; for something, though he is not exactly sure
what.

Michelle is a proud uOttawa graduate who recently sat down to calculate just how long she has spent at her alma mater.
Admittedly, her math skills were a little rusty but shock set in when
she realized that with the arrival of 2007 comes year #13. Ever the
multi-tasker, she’s managing these days to navigate her way through
first year common law while still trying to figure out how to put her
biochemistry degree to good use. She figured that joining Ian’s
research team was definitely a step in the right direction.
Michelle’s research for the Identity Trail project focuses mainly on
the review of legal principles and privacy protections pertaining to
the storage of human tissue, with particular emphasis on DNA.

Meg decamped from her home in the West to study for her MA.... She is happy to have eventually landed in the Law & Tech research community at the University of Ottawa, in spite of the fact that she desperately misses hiking in the Rockies. Since arriving in Ottawa, she has helped renovate her home by doing lots of destruction because she can't actually build anything more complicated than IKEA furniture. She sometimes wonders what her cats are writing in their as-yet-unpublished blog and she's obsessed with Veronica Mars, which she finds odd since it's all about trampling on privacy rights. She likes spicy food so much that she puts cayenne pepper on fruit. One day she would like to incorporate all that international relations theory she studied in her previous degrees into her legal research.
