Teaching

Scholarship with impact

Since the Berkman Center’s inception, one of our fundamental priorities has been teaching across the wide range of our areas of inquiry.

Berkman faculty and distinguished visitors have regularly provided some of the most innovative and substantial Internet, technology, and intellectual property law course offerings of any law school or university. Our Clinical program was the first of its kind. We experiment with innovative uses of technology in our teaching, and we use technology to reach distant and dispersed audiences. Over the years, our courses have synthesized complex legal, technological, social, and business issues; examined questions of both public and private law; and integrated relevant international and domestic legal considerations from a global perspective.

While the core of our teaching has been and remains courses at Harvard Law School, we also strive to reach and involve a much broader audience. Faculty associated with the Berkman Center has combined to teach as many as ten courses annually as part of the curricula at Harvard Law School, Harvard College, and Harvard Extension School. We have taught a generation of future lawyers and scholars and industry leaders about Internet law, intellectual property, e-commerce, privacy, security, antitrust, and the impact of Internet on democracy, civic engagement, development, and innovation.

These extensive offerings — and others still — serve as a key means of bridging our scholarship, community-building, and educational activities. Our courses both unify and transcend these separate threads, helping to weave them into and throughout everything we do, while engaging a wide and diverse audience in the most challenging aspects of our work.
