Gordon Kamisar was the first attorney to enter the Pacific Northwest legal
search profession in 1990. He is a graduate of Duke University Law School
and is licensed to practice in three jurisdictions including the State of
Washington. He has a B.A degree, Cum Laude, in Psychology from the
University of Michigan. Before becoming a search consultant, he worked at
McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen in San Francisco and Donovan, Leisure,
Newton & Irvine in New York City. Gordon interviewed numerous attorney
applicants while on the hiring committee of a Washington, D.C. law firm.
As an attorney, Gordon has gained substantial expertise in intellectual
property and computer law. He obtained copyright registrations for
computer software and helped bring a copyright infringement action on
behalf of a Fortune 500 manufacturer of computer hardware and software.
Gordon also was involved in litigating such cutting edge issues as whether
computer languages are protectable under the copyright laws. In 1988 he
wrote "Dispelling Common Misconceptions and Confusion About Copyright
Protection", which appeared in the American Bar Association's Barrister
Magazine. In 1994 he co-authored "Who Really Owns 'Your' Software
Programs?" which appeared in the June issue of The Software Practitioner.
Gordon has been an active member of the Copyright Subcommittee of the
American Bar Association (ABA)'s Committee on Computer Programs, the ABA's
Committee on Computer Litigation, and the Committee on Electronic &
Computer Law of the American Intellectual Property Association (AIPLA).
His biography is included in Who's Who in American Law.

developers, corporations and individual business people. He has negotiated

issues.

cities, their experience as participants on both sides of the hiring
process, and their expertise in emerging areas of the law enable them to
provide valuable services as legal search consultants.
