Michael Rubin
Description

When we handle appeals, we cite to the record below, brief applicable law, and participate in oral argument. There are not a lot of “ethical concerns” in appellate law, right? Wait! Are you really sure that this is the right “ethical” answer? Mike Rubin, with his unique blend of scholarship and humor, and with one of the most unusual multimedia presentations you’ll ever see, will challenge your thinking, raise issues to ponder, and give you something to smile about.

• A projector for my multimedia presentation that will hook up to my laptop through an HDMI connection.

• The podium should be set up so that I can connect my laptop to the projector cable at the podium and control my laptop from the podium. Specifically, for your A/V crew,

o The HDMI cable for the projector should be pulled to the podium so that I can stand at the podium with my laptop.
o There should be a power source at the podium for my laptop.
o The presentation is copyrighted, and I will bring my own laptop. I do not use a wireless mouse or a pointer because of the many keyboard macros I use for the presentation.
o Because of the copyrighted nature of my audio-visual presentation, I do not allow videotaping or streaming of my talk; however, an audio-only recording is permissible.

• The screen for the multimedia presentation should be set up so that the bottom of the screen can be seen by everyone in the audience. Depending on the configuration of the room, this sometimes requires that the screen be placed on risers or that there be two screens and two projectors linked with a splitter.
