LAW FIRM SPONSORS DU PROFESSORSHIP FOR POT LAW

A Denver law firm that focuses on cannabis law has sponsored the 
University of Denver's law school with a three-year, $45,000 
professorship for marijuana law and policy.

The university's Sturm College of Law professor Sam Kamin will be the 
first Vicente Sederberg Professor of Marijuana Law and Policy. 
Denver-based law firm Vicente Sederberg LLC has committed $15,000 per 
year for three years to the professorship, which they say is the 
first of its kind in the world.

Kamin said he will use the money to participate in policy discussions 
in Colorado and abroad.

"I've been wanting to go down to Uruguay and see what they're doing 
with marijuana law reform," Kamin said.

He also plans on hiring student research assistants with the money.
