The Satyriconistas are a diverse group of writers, all selected to write for the Legal Satyricon because of the quality of their work and the depth of their minds. Orthodoxy does not abound here. The opinions of one writer should not be, nor could they intelligently be, imputed to any other. Each speaks their own mind here, and when that mind disagrees with other Satyriconistas, all the better. We have conservative writers alongside liberal writers, feminist writers alongside a porn attorney.
The only common thread is that none of us take ourselves too seriously, and we are committed to fostering wide open and robust debate. Meet the Satyriconistas, in no particular order.
The “Active Duty” Satyriconistas
First Amendment lawyer and former law professor. Read more here.
As a former software developer, Fischer is our resident g33k whose interests lie mostly in the nexus between law and tech. As a self-described rational conservative, he attempts to bring some balance to the sometimes overly-leftist ravings that appear on the Legal Satyricon. Jason completed his J.D. at Barry University School of Law, magna cum laude (where he booked Randazza’s trademarks class) and was recently admitted to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Florida Bar.
Zac Papantoniou (aka “AGhostInTheSnow”) is the Legal Satyricon’s “wild-card” contributing blawger; a moniker attributed to him, widely due his acerbic and (sometimes) thought-provoking commentary on a variety of issues ranging from, pop-culture and the First Amendment, to politics and entertainment law. An amateur MMA fighter and self-professed political-junkie with libertarian leanings, Papantoniou’s love of mano-a-mano combat, both physical and mental in nature, have made him a worthwhile contributor to the Satyricon since June 2008. Papantoniou obtained his J.D. from Barry University Andreas School of Law in May 2009, and recently took the July 2009 Florida Bar examination.
Christensen is an employment lawyer who has devoted her pre and post law school career to improving the lives of working people. She represents individuals, labor unions, and classes of employees in all areas of employment and labor law, including discrimination, harassment, wage and hour, wrongful termination, defamation, retaliation, contract disputes, and class action wage and hour litigation. She also counsels employers in labor and employment law compliance. Read more here.
Christopher Harbin is a second-year law student at the University of Michigan Law School where he serves as Publication Manager for the Michigan Journal of Gender & Law and as a saxophonist \ guitarist for TJ Hooper & the Learned Hands, Michigan Law School’s rock band. Christopher’s scholarly interests include video game, first amendment, defamation, trademark, copyright, and internet law. He received a B.A. degree, honors in major, from the University of Central Florida.
Tatiana von Tauber is our resident expert on feminist theory, but she brings so much more to the mix. Tatiana is an artist and photographer, writer and blogger whose life is centered on exploring and understanding the philosophy of love, sexuality and eroticism and its influences on society and consciousness, growth and existential freedom and all things feminine through various artistic and creative forms.
Jay DeVoy is a third-year law student at the University of Wisconsin Law School. There, he is the President of his Federalist Society chapter, on the executive board of the Wisconsin Moot Court board, and a member of the Wisconsin International Law Journal. DeVoy previously has held editorial positions with various student newspapers and dedicated his time to raising awareness of First Amendment and free market issues.
Warrington recently graduated from Barry University School of Law (where she booked Prof. Randazza’s Entertainment Law course). In her final year at Barry, Warrington received the first place prize in the Nathan M. Burkan Memorial Writing Competition for her article, “Harry Potter and the Doctrine of Fair Use: Conjuring a New Copyright Complaint.” Warrington currently practices general law at a midsize Orlando law firm while attending the University of Florida’s LL.M. in Taxation program. Naturally, she is our go-to for tax issues, and she maintains the Legal Satyricon’s facebook page.
Bob is the first, and perhaps the only, non-lawyer Satyriconista. Bob spends most of his time thinking about technology, privacy, the law, and bizzare things that keep normal, middle of the road food tubes awake at night.
Out in the meat world he makes ROBOTS that migrate the content locked in antique magnetic media (videotapes) into lossless digital files for large cultural archives, networks and libraries.
When Bob is not working in the electromechanical/digital salt mines for his corporate masters he makes theater: Charlie Victor Romeo.
