Executive DirectorExecutive DirectorRobert Barr Robert Barr is the Executive Director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology and Lecturer-in-Residence at UC Berkeley School of Law. Prior to joining BCLT in 2005, he was the first Vice President of Intellectual Property for Cisco Systems in San Jose, California, where he was responsible for all of the company’s patent prosecution, licensing, and litigation.

Robert has been a prominent patent attorney in Silicon Valley for over 30 years. He has degrees in Electrical Engineering and Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a J.D. cum laude from Boston University School of Law. He has been a partner at three major law firms, where he specialized in patent strategy counseling for clients in the computer, telecommunications,

and semiconductor industries. In honor of his accomplishments, Robert’s professional colleagues have created a schol-arship in his name at the UC Berkeley School of Law. The scholarship is awarded each year to a 2L or 3L J.D. student who has demonstrated an interest in and commitment to the field of law and technology.

During his tenure as Executive Director, Robert has expanded the BCLT community, mentored countless students, and established a high standard of programming that uniquely combines academic and practical perspectives.

Kenneth A. BambergerProfessor Bamberger is an expert on government regulation and cor-porate compliance, especially with regard to issues of technology, free expression, and information privacy. Professor Bamberger’s

research more generally covers risk regulation, the use of technology in regulation and compliance, and the role of private actors in regulation. Privacy on the Ground, his groundbreaking study of corporate privacy practices in the U.S. and Europe (conducted with Professor Deirdre Mulligan), will be published by MIT Press in 2015.

Law & Tech FacultyCatherine CrumpBeginning in Fall 2014, Catherine Crump joins Clinic Director Jennifer M. Urban at the Samuelson Clinic as Associate Director and Assistant Clinical Professor of Law. She graduated

from Stanford Law School in 2004 and clerked for the Hon. M. Margaret McKeown on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to joining the Clinic, she was a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. She is also a Non-Resident Fellow at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. Additionally, Professor Crump is a FOIA expert and has led students in FOIA projects with Professor Jason Schultz at the Technology Law and Policy Clinic at NYU. Recent research has focused on license plate readers and drone surveillance.

www.law.berkeley.edu/bclt 5

Law & Tech FacultyPeter S. MenellPeter Menell is Koret Professor of Law. Reflecting his training in economics and law, Professor Menell’s research focuses prin-cipally on the role and design of intellectual property law with par-

ticular emphasis on the digital technology and content industries. His current projects explore the role of notice in developing tangible and intangible resources, copyright reform, and the adaptation of content and digital technology industries to the internet age. He also filed amicus curiae briefs in four important cases. During 2012-13, Professor Menell served as one of the inaugural Thomas Alva Edison Visiting Professionals at the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).

Robert P. MergesRobert Merges is Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Professor of Law. He is the author of Justifying Intellectual Property, published by Harvard University Press in 2011. A comprehensive statement of

mature views on the ethical and economic foundations of IP law, the book reviews foundational philosophical theories of property and contemporary theories about distributive justice and applies them to IP; identifies operational high-level principles of IP law; and, with all this as background, works through several press-ing problems facing IP law today. Professor Merges also has undertaken extensive revisions to two of the casebooks he coauthors, to update them in light of the America Invents Act which largely took effect in 2013.

Chris Hoofnagle Chris Hoofnagle is Director of Information Privacy Programs for BCLT. His research focuses on the structure of legal and economic relationships that lead to tensions between firms and

individuals manifested through information privacy problems, gaps in understanding of legal protections, deficits in consumer law protections, and the problem of financial fraud. Professor Hoofnagle has written extensively in the fields of information privacy, the law of unfair and deceptive practices, consumer law, and identity theft. He has also written on payments tech-nologies with a focus on mobile payments, consumer attitudes toward and knowledge of privacy law, iden-tity theft, the First Amendment, and the government’s reliance on private-sector databases to investigate citizens.

Deirdre Mulligan Deirdre Mulligan’s current research agenda focuses on information privacy, security, cybersecurity and fairness. Privacy on the Ground: Governance Choices and Corporate Practice in the US and Europe, the

culmination of Professors Mulligan and Bamberger’s five-year empirical comparative research project exploring regulatory structures and corporate gover-nance of privacy in five countries, will be published in Fall 2015 by MIT Press. Other areas of research include digital rights management technology and privacy and security issues in sensor networks and visual sur-veillance systems, and alternative legal strategies to advance network security.

www.law.berkeley.edu/bclt6

Law & Tech FacultyPaul Schwartz Paul Schwartz is Jefferson E. Peyser Professor of Law. His scholarship focuses on how the law has sought to regulate and shape information technology. His most frequently researched topic concerns infor-

mation privacy and data security. At present, Profes-sor Schwartz is engaged in several different research projects, including research into comparative privacy developments in the U.S. and the European Union as well as the interplay between state and federal privacy law.

Jennifer Urban Jennifer M. Urban directs the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic. She is pres-ently working on consumer understandings and attitudes toward privacy in mobile and web applications; on library

digitization and “fair use;” and on the Takedown Project—takedownproject.org. Her recent paper with Mark Lemley shows that judges with more experi-ence handling patent cases are more likely to rule for defendants; her recent paper with Chris Hoofnagle empirically questions longstanding research used to support the dominant “notice and choice” regime in privacy regulations. In the Clinic, Professor Urban is working on copyright limitations and exceptions for emerging artists and cultural repositories; privacy in the cloud and in “smart” ecosystems; and government and private surveillance.

Talha Syed Talha Syed’s research focuses on institutional and normative analysis of patents, copyright, and alternative innovation poli-cies; and normative legal theory

with special reference to torts, health, and education policy. Among Professor Syed’s recent and current projects are: comparative-institutional analysis of patent reforms, prizes, public funding and regulatory incentives for improving the social impact of innova-tion in health; democratic and distributive analysis of copyright; economic analysis of product differentiation models of copyright; and the development of a dis-tributive justice approach to disability in the context of health law, torts, and education policy.

Pamela Samuelson Pamela Samuelson is Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law and Information. Her recent work has focused on updating and adapting U.S. copyright law to

meet challenges of the digital age. She has proposed several ways in which the law should be reformed and has considered various modes and venues through which reform might be achieved. Other recent work has focused on mass digitization and intellectual property protection for computer programs, on which she has coauthored several amicus curiae briefs in pending cases.

His current research project examines the historical origins of copyright’s substantial similarity doctrine. Kevin has a J.D. magna cum laude from NYU School of Law and a B.A. in mathematics from Brown University. He was a clerk for the Hon. Diana Gribbon Motz for the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and he spent several years practicing intellectual property litigation at Covington & Burling LLP.

BCLT Fellows

Molly Van HouwelingMuch of Professor Van Hou-weling’s research focuses on copyright law’s implications for new information technologies (and vice versa). One strand of her research explores how legal rules designed to regulate

sophisticated commercial actors impact unsophisti-cated individuals who are empowered by informa-tion technology. Another strand explores how those individuals are deploying copyright law themselves in ways that appear both to enrich and complicate the creative environment. Professor Van Houweling often explores these and other intellectual property issues using theoretical and doctrinal tools borrowed from the law of tangible property. She is currently working on a book, tentatively entitled “Property’s Intellect,” that focuses on these connections.

Activities The Berkeley Center for Law & Technology (BCLT) provides administrative and financial support to eight student groups, including the Berkeley Technology Law Journal. These groups concentrate on specific legal skills or areas of the law, including public interest, allowing students to supplement their law school education with invaluable law & technology-focused activities.

Student GroupSBerkeley Technology Law Journal (BTLJ)The Berkeley Technology Law Journal (BTLJ) is a student-run publication that covers emerging issues in the areas of intellectual property, privacy and cyberlaw. Since 1986, BTLJ has kept judges, policymakers, practitioners and the academic community abreast of the dynamic field of technology law. The Journal’s membership of approximately 150 students publishes three issues of scholarly work each year, plus the Annual Review of Law and Technology. The Annual Review is a distinctive issue of the Journal published in collaboration with BCLT and is dedicated to student-written case notes discussing the

most important recent devel-opments in this sector.

Each year, BTLJ co-hosts the Annual BCLT/BTLJ Symposium. For each conference, BTLJ publishes a symposium issue, featuring articles by leading

academics on the issues raised at the conference. These symposia often pioneer new areas of research by intro-ducing topics that are far-reaching and significant, but have yet to enter the public discourse.

BERC @ BoaltBERC @ Boalt is the law school branch of the Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative, a student-led orga-nization which aims to connect and educate the UC Berkeley energy and resources community. BERC @ Boalt helps to inform law students about current legal practice and advances in the fields of energy, climate and clean

technologies. It does this through the development of curriculum, the continuing expansion of an alumni and professional network, the promotion of

events and discussions centered on green issues, and the creation

of a Career Guide for Energy, Climate and CleanTech Law.

Consumer Advocacy and Protection Society (CAPS)The Berkeley Consumer Advocacy and Protection Society (CAPS) is dedicated to fostering research, discussion and advocacy in the field of consumer protection law. It seeks to strengthen ties between consumer law groups and the Berkeley Law community. This includes creating networks between consumer law attorneys, advocacy organiza-tions and the student body. Its activities promote the field of consumer protection law and provide training oppor-tunities for students; foster community among student advocates whose interests intersect with consumer pro-tection; and encourage and maintain consumer protec-tion curriculum and clinic opportunities at Berkeley Law.

boalt.orgboalt.org is Berkeley Law’s public interest and technology group. Its activities fall into three main categories. First, boalt.org works to make information technology more useful and accessible to students at Berke-ley Law. Second, boalt.org advocates on behalf of the public interest in debates over law and technology. Third, boalt.org provides a community and social activities for those who might best be described as law and tech geeks.

Healthcare and Biotech Law Society (BHBLS)Members of the Boalt Healthcare and Biotech Law Society (BHBLS) examine and analyze the intersection between law, society, policy and science. Their mission is to foster discussion on emerging health/biotech issues and to stimulate the intellectual and professional devel-opment of Boalt students interested in these issues. They do this by organizing networking events with practitioners, promoting health and biotech courses at Berkeley Law and increasing interac-tion between Berkeley Law and other healthcare and biotech related institu-tions at UC Berkeley and beyond.

ActivitiesPatent Law Society (PLS)The Boalt Hall Patent Law Society is organized to serve as a focus group for students interested in practicing patent law; to provide a forum for students to have in-depth discussions regarding patent law; to engage patent law practitioners to share their experiences with students; and to provide opportunities for students to interact, network, and exchange ideas.

Sports & Entertainment Law Society (SELS)The mission of the Sports and Entertainment Law Society (SELS) is to educate the Berkeley Law community about

legal opportunities and issues in the entertainment and sports industries. SELS sponsors many events including guest lectures and social events. Additionally, SELS facilitates opportunities for students to network not only

with each other, but also with alumni and other legal professionals in these industries.

Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM)Universities Allied for Essential Medi-

cines (UAEM) links members of univer-sities in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada who are concerned about patient access to medicines in poor coun-tries. Its mission is to promote access

to medicines and medical innovations in low and middle-income countries by

changing norms and practices around academic patenting and licensing; to ensure

that university medical research meets the needs of people worldwide; and to empower students to respond to the access and innovation crisis.

Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy ClinicFounded in 2001, the Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy Clinic (SLTPPC) provided the first opportunity in legal academia for students to represent public inter-est clients, concerns and constituencies in key debates and litigation concerning the fundamental public policies at the intersection of law and technology. Covering topics as diverse as access to knowledge, privacy, life sciences, consumer rights, free speech and intellectual property, SLTPPC students participate in all aspects of technol-ogy policy at both the state and national levels – from litigation and counseling clients to drafting legislation to injecting public policy con-siderations into technology research and development. SLTPPC students work in col-laboration with clinic faculty and staff as well as the University of California’s pre-eminent computer science, life science, public health and engineering faculty.

SLTPPC students have represented clients in legal matters before federal agencies, federal district and appellate courts, the California Supreme Court, the U.S. Supreme Court, the California Assembly and Senate and in technical standard-setting committees. In addition, clinic students have written and contributed to research reports and white papers, on behalf of clients, on a broad range of topics related to intellectual property and tech-nology law and policy. Through these diverse projects, SLTPPC students and faculty work to fulfill the Clinic’s dual mission: to provide a voice for the public’s interest in law and technology issues, and to teach law students, via real work for live clients, how to develop and apply the fundamental skills of lawyering to the public policy questions of our time.
