Law, Science, and Technology Colloquium

Future Offerings

Law, Science, and Technology Colloquium (8004): The Law, Science & Technology Colloquium offers students in the Law, Science & Technology LLM Program the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge legal issues at the intersection of law and technology. The colloquium is held in the Fall and Spring quarters and aims to give the LST LLM students a broad overview of the many areas within Law, Science and Technology, as well as the connections between areas. In Fall, we will focus on Internet Law and Intellectual Property, including sessions on privacy, free speech, copyright, and patents, with extra focuses on biotechnology and bioscience. In Spring, we will broaden our scope to a selection of issues including potentially AI, dark patterns, more on biotechnology & bioscience, telecommunications regulation, or legal practice. Furthermore, we will discuss how the law of science and technology is made in the United States, and how lawyers can effect change in these laws. The class will feature several guest speakers who are experts in the field, including potentially Stanford faculty, visiting scholars, technology and IP lawyers, entrepreneurs, and executives from Silicon Valley technology companies. Students are expected to have carefully read the assigned materials in advance of each session, and to actively participate during class. Students will also write a capstone paper on a topic of their choice, in consultation with the instructor. There will also be oral presentations on their capstone papers and on current events in LST. Grades for the colloquium are based on students' papers and their classroom performance (e.g., preparation, participation, attendance, etc.). This course is restricted to students in the Law, Science, and Technology LLM program, and satisfies their "colloquium requirement" for the fall and spring quarter. In fall and spring students will be graded on an Honors/Pass/Restricted Credit/Fail basis. Class will meet in-person unless the Law School's policies state otherwise.

Law, Science, and Technology Colloquium (8004): The Law, Science & Technology Colloquium offers students in the Law, Science & Technology LLM Program the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge legal issues at the intersection of law and technology. This quarter's class is divided into two primary pillars reflecting different areas of law and technology. The first pillar will focus on a selection of issues outside of the relatively standardized areas of privacy and intellectual property, though issues from those areas will undoubtedly appear. These include issues like biotechnology, telecommunications regulation and governance, dark patterns, and AI. The second pillar will focus on how the law of science and technology is made in the United States, with emphasis on administrative and legislative processes, and how lawyers can effect change through these processes. The class will feature several guest speakers who are experts in the field, including potentially Stanford faculty, visiting scholars, technology and IP lawyers, entrepreneurs, and executives from Silicon Valley technology companies. Students are expected to have carefully read the assigned materials in advance of each session, and to actively participate during class.
