/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// BERKELEY CENTER FOR LAW & TECHNOLOGY 2019-2020 ANNUAL BULLETIN

For 25 years, the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology (BCLT) has been the focal point at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law for teaching, research, convening, and student activities on issues at the intersection of law and technology. As we prepare to enter our second quarter century, our curriculum continues to expand to prepare our students for traditional and emerging areas of practice. The scholarship of BCLT’s faculty directors is influencing the direction of the law across a wide range of topics. Our conferences and workshops bring together practicing attorneys, in-house counsel, judges, policymakers, and scholars to learn from each other and to help advance the development of legal principles central to our technological future. BCLT was the first center of its kind. After 25 years, we are still growing. In 2019 alone, we added two new faculty directors, bringing our total to 17. This fall, we welcome our first BCLT Scholars, JD candidates with exceptional credentials and an interest in careers in law and technology. At a time of trade wars and international tension, our Asia IP Project provides a much-needed forum for deepening relationships and understanding of IP law on both sides of the Pacific. We are eager to share with you BCLT’s many efforts to explore and improve the legal framework for the digital age.
