Elissa D. Hecker has circulated a request for comments, memories and thoughts about Marybeth Peters to be included in the upcoming Winter issue of the NY Entertainment Arts and Sports Law Section Bar Journal. Submission are due by September 24:

As some of you may know, Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights at the U.S. Copyright Office, will be retiring from her position in December after serving as Register since 1994.  She has been involved with the Copyright Office since 1983, and is world renowned and respected for her dedication to and work in the field of copyright. Marybeth plans to continue to be active in the field after she formally leaves the Copyright Office.

I would like to have the Winter issue of the EASL Journal be a tribute to her by collecting and publishing comments, memories and thoughts from attorneys who worked with Marybeth during her tremendous tenure.
