Progam's Mission

We are in the midst of scientific and technological revolution. The Internet has transformed communication and fueled the explosive growth of ecommerce. Mapping the human genome will forever alter medicine, heredity, and the understanding of life. Nanotechnology will blur lines between organic, mechanical and electrical systems. As we enter a new millennium marveling at the emergence of brave new worlds, we can easily fail to appreciate their profound impacts on the practice and teaching of law.

The Program for Law & Technology at California Institute of Technology and Loyola Law School, conceived by a joint alumnus, Henry C. Yuen, President & Chief Executive Officer, Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc, aims to cure this oversight. The Program will bring scientists, engineers and lawyers together to explore new developments at the intersection of law and technology.

The Program Features:

• New courses on law and technology at Caltech and Loyola

• A Yuen Fellows speaker series bringing world-renowned lawyers and scientists to the two campuses

• Periodic workshops and presentations on topics of interest to lawyers and scientists

• An annual conference -- At the Crossroads of Law & Technology -- featuring a mock trial, public lectures, and academic presentations.

Like the legal-scientific crossroads we are exploring, the Program for Law & Technology is in its infancy. We invite you to participate in upcoming Program events and even to help the Program with your ideas and input.
