Wayne Stacy Executive Director, BCLT

Over its 25+ year history, BCLT has been at the center of tech and IP legal education—for both students and practitioners. Our program now encompasses 18 professors, almost 40 practitioner lecturers, 50 tech classes, and 13 tech-focused student groups.

BCLT has delivered thousands of hours of advanced CLE content. And most importantly, for the past two decades, it has helped law students kick off their tech legal careers.

BCLT has always been funded through sponsorships from a broad swath of the legal community. The number and variety of these sponsors is staggering. Law firms, corporations, and individuals have generously shared their time and their sponsorship dollars. In return, we invest those gifts back into both the student community and the practitioner community.

This year, we are making a major investment to expand our support of both students and practicing lawyers. Our alumni and our sponsors are worldwide. To reach those individuals beyond the Bay Area and those individuals not able to pay the high fees of in-person conferences, we are rolling out a first-of-its-kind, on demand virtual CLE program.

Working closely with the industry’s leading attorneys, we are developing highly-focused, advanced legal content that we will share with the entire industry. We will make this content available at no charge.

4 | Sponsorship 2022-2023

One of our goals is to provide speaking opportunities to attorneys that have been typically shut out of important legal conferences. Our focus will be on developing advanced content and finding instructors—whoever and wherever they are—who can present it effectively.

Our new investment extends to students and student recruiting. The practice of law in the tech and IP space has grown increasingly complicated and specialized. Law firm websites and recruiting material alone cannot help students understand the difference between these practice areas.

In-person career fairs and presentations provide a fantastic starting point for helping students understand, and BCLT will continue to provide these premier opportunities. But alone, they do not enable students to differentiate between firms or practice areas. Using our new on demand platform, firms will have the opportunity to differentiate themselves and explain in detail the practice areas for which they are recruiting. We will work with our sponsors to create careerfocused webcasts that we will make available throughout the year. The on-demand programming will be linked to course selection and promoted during 1L hiring season and OCI. As we start a new school year, I want to thank our existing sponsors and extend a welcome to our new ones. Together, we will provide more—and more meaningful—opportunities for students and practitioners.

Welcome to B-CLE: A New Content Creation Experience

Differentiation and demonstration of expertise: these are the keys to building a legal brand. But in-person panels with multiple talking heads from multiple firms do not provide differentiation or a chance to demonstrate expertise. Your message gets watered down and then disappears as soon as the conference is over.

Our new B-CLE platform and educational approach fixes these shortcomings. We work closely with your team to create unique, advanced programs that are tailored for today’s virtual audience. And because we are a public university focused on distribution of legal knowledge, we provide these programs free of charge to everyone, everywhere, giving you and your expertise the broadest possible audience.

Your programming continues to live on our CLE platform and will be available for you to share (for CLE credit) with your invited guests. Berkeley will also share your content with alumni, sponsors, student groups, government employees, all while offering CLE credit.

Life Sciences Project The newly-launched Life Sciences Project will offer a unique forum for life sciences companies to explore IP, innovation, and regulatory issues. In addition to creating a community for life sciences attorneys to discuss current topics, the Life Sciences Project will support research related to patent protection for drug innovations, bioethics, FDA regulations, AI and healthcare data, and health-data privacy regulations. The Life Sciences Project will work closely with the Asia IP Project to explore international pharmaceutical development.

INTRODUCING OUR NEW DIRECTOR Allison Schmitt JD’15 returns to Berkeley Law to serve as the first Director of the new BCLT Life Sciences Project. She brings tremendous expertise, experience, and energy to this exciting initiative.

Prior to law school, Allison earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Duke University, where she focused on bioorganic chemistry and physical biochemistry. While at Duke, Allison participated in the Pharmacology Scientist Training Program and was awarded the Graduate School Dean’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Allison then came to Berkeley Law, where she focused her energy on intellectual property and life sciences legal issues. Upon graduating Allison clerked for the Honorable Stanley R. Chesler in the District of New Jersey, where she worked extensively on ANDA cases. She then clerked for the Honorable Kathleen M. O’Malley of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Federal Circuit, where she further honed her knowledge of bio-pharma law and case management. She then spent several years in private practice focusing on life sciences patent litigation, patent counseling, and policy matters.

IP & Tech Academy

How do mid-levels get high-end external training and networking opportunities? Firms and firm budgets typically don’t support sending mid-levels to expensive in-person conferences. And that is the problem. Mid-levels and the connections they at this stage are critical for future client development. And because the mid-level ranks are among the most diverse within the legal industry, the lack of training and networking opportunities also has a negative impact on diversity.

The Berkeley Center for Law & Technology is changing that dynamic. To support mid-level attorneys in the IP and tech fields, BCLT is launching an in-person, annual training academy. This conference will be designed by and for mid-level attorneys— drawing equally from in-house legal departments and law firms.

To remove access barriers, BCLT will underwrite tuition costs for mid-level attorneys from sponsor corporations and sponsor law firms. BCLT will also underwrite tuition costs for attorneys— from smaller firms or minority-owned firms—nominated by a corporate sponsor.
