Michael R. Klipper
Mr. Klipper is a founding partner
of Meyer,
Klipper & Mohr, PLLC , (“MK&M”) a Washington, D.C. law firm where he
focuses on copyright, constitutional and public record law issues.
For seven years (1975-82) he
served as Senator Charles McC. Mathias’ counsel to the Senate Judiciary
Committee. From l982-88, he was in-house counsel to the Motion Picture
Association of America. Before founding Meyer & Klipper, PLLC, he was of
counsel at Leventhal, Senter & Lerman, and vice president of legislative
affairs for the Association of American Publishers.
While at MK&M, in addition to
continuing his work on copyright and constitutional matters, Mr. Klipper
has devoted much time to issues before state legislatures of interest to
aggregators of public record information, particularly numerous proposed
amendments to state open record laws. Also on the public record front,
MK&M has filed amicus briefs on behalf of record aggregators, on such
issues as claims of copyright in public record information by government
entities, and the implications and legal consequences of the delegating of
public record responsibilities by government entities to private parties.
Currently, Mr. Klipper is working
with a number of commercial aggregators to forestall an effort within the
American Bar Association that would put the ABA on record in support of
federal and state laws requiring the widespread sealing of criminal
history records and prohibiting the dissemination and reporting of such
records.
Mr. Klipper is a graduate
of the George Washington University Law School and holds and LLM
from the Harvard Law School. He is a member of the District of
Columbia, Massachusetts, and New York bars.
