LAW 649A Cyberlaw/Fair Use Clinic: Advanced Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Regulatory & Policy ] Business Law: Tax Law Why it is relevant for ... [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Clinic : Currently, no clinics have a particular business policy issue as a primary focus. However, the Cyberlaw Clinic provides a broad range of skill sets applicable to any practice that involves both legal and policy issues. With this, or any other clinic, whether or not it focuses on the substantive law of your specific career orientation, you can be confident that you will get skills-based training that is relevant and transferable. Review the clinic activities for the skill sets you are most interested in acquiring, such as interviewing clients, presenting arguments, writing for different audiences, or negotiating and collaborating with others. Equally important, the mentoring offered to students by clinical program directors provides a valuable opportunity to develop that key lawyering competence: professional judgment. The following clinics are also particularly useful for those planning to work in the policy arena or practice with regulatory agencies, as they develop a policy focus and administrative advocacy skills useful for this career direction in any substantive area: Environmental Law Clinic Education Law Clinic Supreme Court Clinic General course Description: This is a hands-on, project-oriented seminar, in which students work on a wide range of cyberlaw projects with lawyers from the Center for Internet and Society's Fair Use Project and with lawyers from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. There are significant faculty-student interactions through meetings to discuss the projects and an associated bi-monthly discussion seminar covering advanced cyberlaw topics. This clinical program provides law students with the opportunity to represent clients in cutting-edge issues of intellectual property and technology law, in the public interest. Through the hands-on experience of representing clients (under the supervision of the faculty) in various fora, students learn professional responsibility and advocacy skills, substantive law and procedural rules related to their projects, and examine the concept of the public interest in intellectual property and technology law. Clients vary widely, and may be individual artists; technologists; non-profit institutions; coalitions; etc. In the past, students have drafted amicus briefs, counseled nonprofits on public-interest initiatives, created a patent licensing scheme, represented independent and documentary filmmakers who are pursuing legislation in Congress, and counseled artists developing new technology-based art forms, among other projects. Thus, the skills each student learns also vary according to project. The classroom component explores public interest practice in tech law in various fora, and spends significant time on student projects. Course Style: An Experiential course is one in which students undertake tasks derived from or akin to those done by practicing lawyers. |
