LAW 649A Cyberlaw/Fair Use Clinic: Advanced Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Regulatory & Policy ] Criminal Law: International Criminal Law & Immigration Law Why it is relevant for ... [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Clinic : In the Cyberlaw Clinic, students conduct technology-related litigation, policy research, and advocacy; so, they gain experience in litigation, regulatory work, and substantive cyberlaw issues. Students interested in tort litigation or criminal law should also find this clinic useful, as the evolution of cyberlaw involves the characterization of some conduct in cyberspace as tortious or criminal. Like all of the clinics, the Cyberlaw Clinic gives students practical experience in solving real problems for real clients. All of the clinics provide skills-based training that is relevant and transferable to other areas of practice: among them, interviewing and counseling clients, analyzing and developing facts, presenting arguments, legal writing, writing for different audiences, and negotiating and collaborating with others. In addition, participation in the clinical program builds professionalism and the opportunity to practice newly developed skills under the guidance of Law School faculty. Indeed, the mentoring offered by program directors to the students in their clinic provides a valuable opportunity to develop that key lawyering competence: professional judgment. 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. |
