Law & Tech FacultyChrisHoofnagleChris Hoofnagle is Director ofInformation Privacy Programsfor BCLT. His research focuseson the structure of legal andeconomic relationships that leadto tensions between firms andindividuals manifested through information privacyproblems, gaps in understanding of legal protections,deficits in consumer law protections, and the problemof financial fraud.

Law & Tech FacultyPamelaSamuelsonPamela Samuelson is Richard M.Sherman Distinguished Professorof Law and Information. Her recentwork has focused on updating andadapting U.S. copyright law tomeet challenges of the digital age.

PeyserProfessor of Law. His scholarshipfocuses on how the law has soughtto regulate and shape informationtechnology. His most frequentlyresearched topic concerns information privacy and data security. At present, Professor Schwartz is engaged in several different researchprojects, including research into comparative privacydevelopments in the U.S. and the European Union aswell as the interplay between state and federal privacylaw.TalhaSyedTalha Syed’s research focuseson institutional and normativeanalysis of patents, copyright,and alternative innovation policies; and normative legal theorywith special reference to torts, health, and educationpolicy. Among Professor Syed’s recent and currentprojects are: comparative-institutional analysis ofpatent reforms, prizes, public funding and regulatoryincentives for improving the social impact of innovation in health; democratic and distributive analysis ofcopyright; economic analysis of product differentiationmodels of copyright; and the development of a distributive justice approach to disability in the context ofhealth law, torts, and education policy.6JenniferUrbanJennifer M. Urban directs theSamuelson Law, Technology &Public Policy Clinic. She is presently working on consumerunderstandings and attitudestoward privacy in mobile andweb applications; on librarydigitization and “fair use;” and on the TakedownProject—takedownproject.org. Her recent paper withMark Lemley shows that judges with more experience handling patent cases are more likely to rule fordefendants; her recent paper with Chris Hoofnagleempirically questions longstanding research used tosupport the dominant “notice and choice” regime inprivacy regulations. In the Clinic, Professor Urban isworking on copyright limitations and exceptions foremerging artists and cultural repositories; privacy inthe cloud and in “smart” ecosystems; and governmentand private surveillance.www.law.berkeley.edu/bclt
Law & Tech FacultyMolly VanHouwelingMuch of Professor Van Houweling’s research focuses oncopyright law’s implications fornew information technologies(and vice versa). One strandof her research explores howlegal rules designed to regulatesophisticated commercial actors impact unsophisticated individuals who are empowered by information technology. Another strand explores how thoseindividuals are deploying copyright law themselves inways that appear both to enrich and complicate thecreative environment. Professor Van Houweling oftenexplores these and other intellectual property issuesusing theoretical and doctrinal tools borrowed fromthe law of tangible property. She is currently workingon a book, tentatively entitled “Property’s Intellect,”that focuses on these connections.BCLT FellowsKathryn HashimotoKathryn Hashimoto is a Copyright Research Fellow.

In addition,clinic students have written and contributed to researchreports and white papers, on behalf of clients, on a broadrange of topics related to intellectual property and technology law and policy. Through these diverse projects,SLTPPC students and faculty work to fulfill the Clinic’sdual mission: to provide a voice for the public’s interestin law and technology issues, and to teach law students,via real work for live clients, how to develop and applythe fundamental skills of lawyering to the public policyquestions of our time.www.law.berkeley.edu/bclt9
