Harvard Law School’s Cyberlaw Clinic offers pro bono legal services at the intersection of technology and social justice.
The Clinic — founded at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society — was the first of its kind, and continues its tradition of innovation in its areas of practice. The Clinic strives to center clients in its legal work, helping them to achieve success as they define it, mindful of (and in response to) existing law. Students who enroll and participate in the Cyberlaw Clinic prepare for practice by working on real-world client counseling, advocacy, litigation, and transactional projects.
Technology supports most human endeavors and, as a result, offers both significant benefits and real, lasting harms. Therefore, the Cyberlaw Clinic’s work, teaching activities, and client selection decisions are animated by its core values. The Clinic balances its legal service mission with a mission to teach law students, and education and pedagogy are at the heart of the Clinic’s day-to-day operations.
