College Democrats campaign in Virginia over Fall Break Entrepreneurship clinic helps students innovate Volunteers canvass for McAuliffe, educate community By KRISTEN FEDOR For the Daily Friday, members of the Uni- versity's chapter of College Democrats traveled to Virginia during Fall Break to work on gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's campaign. Campaign trips over the short break are a tradition for the group. For 2012, members of the College Democrats trav- eled to volunteer for President Barack Obama's reelection campaign in Akron, Ohio. LSA senior Sonja Karnovsky, treasurer for the College Dem- ocrats, said it's important for members, to see how political organizing works outside of greater Ann Arbor. "Our campaign work is about finding candidates we can get behind and help them out in any way we can - to make sure that Democrats win across Washtenaw County, the state of Michigan and the entire U.S.," Karnovsky said. After a failed bid for the Democratic nomination in Virginia's 2009 gubernato- rial election, McAuliffe is now the Democratic nominee for the 2013 race against Republi- can candidate Ken Cuccinelli. According to averages by Real Clear Politics, McAuliffe is polling seven points ahead of Cuccinelli. In the past, McAuliffe served as the national finance chair- man of both former President Bill Clinton's 1996 campaign and as chairman of former Sec- retary of State Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination. McAuliffe was also the chair- man of the Democratic Nation- al Convention in 2000 and served as its chairman from 2001 to 2005. Volunteers from the Uni- versity were based in Henrico County, Virginia, just outside of Richmond. They spent the weekend canvassing, knocking on doors of Democratic voters, making sure they knew when Election Day was and voting- site locations. LSA junior Mary Bridget Lee, communications direc- tor of the College Democrats, spoke of the buzzing atmo- sphere. "People knew about the cam- paign, and they were excited to vote," she said. LSA junior Meg Scribner, chair of the College Democrats, also elaborated upon the notion that cross-country travel is vital to the mission of the orga- nization. Scribner attributed the excitement around the Virginia ubernatorial contest to the idespread national attention- hat it has garnered in an off- ear election. As a swing state, the results from Virginia can often shift momentum in one party's favor, looking toward future presi- dential elections as well. "If a Democrat wins the gov- ernor seat, then it is going to be much more on the Democrats' side in 2016," Scribner said. Law School offers legal guidance to student innovators By ALLANA AKHTAR DailyStaffReporter The University is a hotbed for innovation. A co-founder of Google, the inventor of the iPod and the former CEO of Skype are all University alums. Plus, the Uni- versity's Office of Tech Trans- fer said last week that a record number of inventions - 421 - were born at the University in the past fiscal year. And, in 'an effort to reach out to promising undergradu- ates, the University launched its Master of Entrepreneurship Joint Degree, sponsored by the College of Engineering, the Ross School of Business and the Office of Technology Transfer. But University students, who continue to share business ideas and develop projects, may be unaware that there are numer- ous resources on campus to help them navigate the often-con- fusing legalities that come with starting a company. The Law School's Entrepre- neurship Clinic, part of the Zell Entrepreneurship and Law Pro- gram - also known as ZEAL - was created in January 2012 to offer legal guidance to Univer- sity student entrepreneurs. So far, the clinic has already repre- sented over 30 clients. Common legal concerns of startups include forming a par- ticular type of company, intel- lectual property issues and finance documentation. The clinic was the brainchild of University alum Samuel Zell - ZEAL's namesake and a major University donor - and Evan Caminker, dean emeritus of the Law School. "Michigan is a very entrepre- neurial campus," ZEAL Direc- tor Erik Gordon said. "We have students from every college, undergrads, graduates, who are constantly coming up with new businesses - and they need help." For example, Gordon explained that students who start working together on busi- nesses are usually unaware of the legal liabilities of their part- nership. He said it's important that students seek legal help so they understand what they're getting into. The clinic also provides opportunities for Law stu- dents to develop relationships with other students who could become their post-graduation clients. Law Prof. Dana Thompson, director of the clinic, said the clinic allows students to go beyond the walls of the Law school and become immersed in the "entrepreneurial ecosys- tem" on campus. "It's a great opportunity for student venturers who are at the Engineering School or Busi- ness School or other schools to really see the importance of addressing legal issues as they're setting up their com- pany," she said. Along with the Law School Clinic, the Schools of Engi- neering and Business also have entrepreneurial clinics set up in their respective colleges to pro- vide support services to current student entrepreneurs. The clinic it also holds work- shops at MPowered programs and the TechArb for general legal information and is cur- rently developing educational materials. Thompson encourages stu- dent entrepreneurs to attend office hours, which are "open to anybody on campus who's an entrepreneur in figuring out a particular answer to a legal question they may have and we also provide general informa- tion about that legal topic." Office hours are held Fridays from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cen- ter for Entrepreneurship locat- ed in the Duderstadt Center and 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Zell Lurie Institute in the Ross School of Business.
