A Great Job Opportunity for Tech-Savvy Lawyers
The Berkman Center is now accepting applications for a resident Clinical Fellow for the academic year 2007-08 to help direct its Clinical Program in Cyberlaw.
The Fellow will play a central role in helping to manage and supervise the Cyberlaw Clinic, through which Harvard Law School students earn course credit for working on a variety of litigation, client counseling, advocacy, legislation, and transactional/licensing cases and projects involving novel issues of the internet, new technology and intellectual property.
Applications should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than July 6, 2007. To learn more about this opportunity click here.
As regular Info/Law readers will know, this is the job I used to have — it was sort of a transitional position between my old career in private practice and my new post in academia. The Clinical Fellowship is a wonderful job. You’ll work with teams of very bright HLS students on cutting-edge cases where there is virtually no settled law — and your work can, in consequence, carry a great deal of influence with the courts and policy-making bodies. It’s also a great way for a practicing attorney to become part of the wider Berkman family (which, it may come as a surprise to learn, does not consist wholly or even predominantly of traditional legal academics, although there are more than enough of those around to inspire you to think big thoughts, if that’s your cup of tea).
