Student Work

The Cyberlaw Clinic at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society engages Harvard Law students in a wide range of real-world litigation, licensing, client counseling, advocacy, and legislative projects and cases, covering a broad spectrum of Internet, new technology, and intellectual property legal issues. Clients include individuals, small startups, nonprofit organizations, internal Berkman Center projects, groups of law professors, and government entities. 

The scope of the Clinic’s work includes:

• counseling and legal guidance regarding complex open access, digital copyright, fair use, and DMCA issues;
• advocacy to protect online speech and anonymity;
• licensing and contract advice, especially regarding Creative Commons and other “open” licenses; and 
• guidance and amicus advocacy for effective but balanced protection of children in the areas of social networking, child pornography, and online exploitation.
