Berkeley Technology Law Journal

The "Berkeley Technology Law Journal" (BTLJ) is a law journal published at the UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall).

The Journal was founded in March 1985 as the "High Technology Law Journal", and its first issue was published in Spring 1986. The Journal changed its name to BTLJ in 1996. The Journal covers emerging issues of law in the areas of intellectual property, cyberlaw, and biotechnology, as well as antitrust and telecommunications law. BTLJ publishes four issues per year, and its membership typically includes over 100 students.

Boalt Hall offers what is regarded as the best intellectual property law program in the world [http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/law/brief/lawsp05_brief.php] and accordingly, BTLJ is considered the preeminent technology journal in the country. In terms of total citations by other journals over an 8-year period between 1999 and 2006, the Journal ranks #26, with 1,984 citations [http://lawlib.wlu.edu/LJ/index.aspx] . It is the only student-edited specialty journal in the top 50, as the others are general law reviews. In terms of total citations by federal and state courts, BTLJ ranks #72, with 34 citations [http://lawlib.wlu.edu/LJ/index.aspx] . No other technology journal ranks higher.

The Annual Review of Law and Technology is a distinctive issue of the Journal published in collaboration with the [http://www.law.berkeley.edu/institutes/bclt/ Berkeley Center for Law and Technology] , dedicated to student-written case notes and comments discussing the most important recent developments in intellectual property, antitrust, cyberlaw, telecommunications, biotechnology, and business law from the past year. The Annual Review is the Journal's most popular issue, consistently garnering a large circulation each year among legal practitioners.

Each spring, BTLJ also co-sponsors an annual symposium on an emerging area of technology law.
