EVENTS
BCLT Symposium on Race and Health: The Intersection of Race, Healthcare, and Technology Law November 10, 2021 Among topics to be discussed, “Race & Access to Health Care Innovation” and “The Impact of Technological Trends on Racial Minorities in America.”
Cyber-hate: Defining and Combating Antisemitism and Hate Online February 4 and March 4, 2021 This symposium explored the phenomenon of cyberhate. What are the key issues and manifestations? What are the appropriate responses to online hate? What are the frameworks available—legal, social, technological—and possible constraints to responding? How do we evaluate the success of various solutions? Co-sponsored by the Berkeley Institute’s Program on Jewish Law, Thought, and Identity and the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology 25th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Symposium: Technology Law as a Vehicle for Anti-Racism November 12-13, 2020 This online symposium, organized by Berkeley Technology Law Journal and BCLT, examined the intersection of technology, law, and race. Speakers discussed current issues dealing with technology and race, including how technologies can be designed and implemented to serve rather than undermine the interests of racial justice and how technology law, policy, and scholarship can advance anti-racism.
DATA SCIENCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Innovation in the IT field continues to create new and important legal issues. BCLT’s faculty co-directors have established themselves as leading thinkers in today’s most pressing IT and data science legal issues, including blockchain, FinTech, AI, social media, video games, and computer crimes.
With the opportunity to select from 15 ITfocused classes, students can explore how IT and data science impacts regulatory policy, criminal investigations, and business transactions.
