Broadcast Education Association

Last week I enjoyed presenting a paper titled "Medium-Based Regulation: A Proposal for Constitutional Standards" to the Law and Policy Division of the Broadcast Education Association. Las Vegas is not my favorite city, but I enjoyed the nice people at BEA. My paper was awarded first place in the debut category and I was honored to receive the 2005 David Eshelman Award for "outstanding contribution to legal research."

While in Sin City, I also got to catch up with an old friend who now works at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Earlier that day he had been covering a story about two girls who got stuck on a roller coaster atop the Stratosphere due to high winds.
