PRIVACY, CYBERSECURITY, AND CONTENT REGULATION

Companies and innovators in the San Francisco Bay Area continue to surface new legal questions about privacy and cybersecurity. And California privacy laws have been a model for the world. With that kind of local backdrop, Berkeley Law and the BCLT faculty co-directors have established themselves as the go-to experts on privacy and cybersecurity topics.

Our faculty includes internationallyrecognized data experts with concentrations spanning comparative privacy

law, consumer privacy, computer crime, and the law of government surveillance. Our research has played a major role in the development of privacy and cybersecurity regulations worldwide. Berkeley Law students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in over a dozen classes focused on privacy and cybersecurity issues.

EVENTS

10th Annual BCLT Privacy Law Forum Spring 2022 Bridging academia and practice, this full-day conference brings together in-house counsel from leading tech companies, practicing lawyers, regulators, privacy advocates, and academics. Faculty from Berkeley Law share their latest research and analysis, and leading privacy experts from law firms, companies, and government agencies will offer fresh insight and practical advice on meeting urgent privacy challenges.

14th Annual BCLT Privacy Lecture: Policing Families Prof. Dorothy E. Roberts October 28, 2021 In our 2021 BCLT Privacy Lecture, Prof. Roberts explores themes from her forthcoming book on family policing. As predictive technologies are integrated into the child protection services and foster care systems, her analysis of the nature and impact of government surveillance on families will be especially timely. BCLT Privacy Lecture: Digital and Physical Company Towns in the Age of Public Capitalism Prof. Jon Michaels, UCLA School of Law Thursday, October 29, 2020 Big tech today has its own supreme court, is poised to coin its own currency, and is building various company towns, complete with housing, transportation, retail, and green spaces. These interventions reveal much about our present-day political economy, the health of our democracy, and our views about the state and the market. Furthermore, they also signal potentially seismic shifts in how we approach questions of constitutional law, corporate governance, and security and privacy.
