Below are the vital experiences and activities our sponsors make possible for Berkeley Law students:
The Berkeley Technology Law Journal (BTLJ) and the Berkeley Journal of Entertainment and Sports Law (BJESL)
These journals publish scholarly articles, case notes, and legal commentary written by students. Funding from law firms helps cover printing costs, editorial expenses, and distribution. By their support, BCLT’s sponsors contribute to legal scholarship and provide students with opportunities to develop advanced research and writing skills that will serve them well as lawyers.
- The Berkeley Technology Law Journal is a student-run publication of University of California, Berkeley School of Law focused on intellectual property, high-technology, and biotechnology. It is published four times a year. BTLJ strives to keep judges, policymakers, practitioners, and the academic community abreast of this dynamic field.
- The Berkeley Journal of Entertainment & Sports Law (BJESL) is dedicated to providing a wide selection of intellectual and practical discussions from scholars, practitioners, and students on legal issues that contemporaneously impact the sports and entertainment industries, both domestically and internationally. As an interactive and electronic law review, BJESL presents a unique platform for rich discourse on legal topics regarding copyright, trademark, art, sports, music, film & television, communications & broadcast media, First Amendment, rights to privacy, antitrust and unfair competition, and contracts, among others.
