Claypoole led the Cyberspace Law Committee meetings as the Committee’s current Chair. O’Hannaidh gave a presentation titled ““Protecting Your Brand in a Complicated Landscape,” while Schamel participated in a panel discussion on data security, law enforcement and device encryption issues. Schamel’s topic has been in the news recently with Apple’s dispute with the Department of Justice over access to information on an iPhone linked to last year’s mass shootings in San Bernardino, Calif.
