Lila Bailey '05 joined Berkeley Law in 2011 as a Clinical Teaching Fellow in the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic. She came to the Clinic from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, where she worked in the Education Program on Open Educational Resources (OER)---high-quality educational materials provided freely under a flexible copyright license that allows anyone, anywhere, to access, customize, and share those resources via the Internet.
Prior to her work at the Hewlett Foundation, Bailey was in-house counsel for Creative Commons, a non-profit organization that offers open copyright licenses. While there, she provided legal and programmatic advice within the organization and educated the public about the use and benefits of Creative Commons licenses, especially in the area of education. Before going in-house, Bailey was an associate at Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati where she worked on Intellectual Property litigation and strategic counseling matters for Silicon Valley technology companies and start-ups. Bailey also held an Intellectual Property Fellowship with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in 2007.
Bailey was a student in the Samuelson Clinic while she attended Berkeley Law, and was a Clinic client when she was in private practice. She is thrilled to be working with the next generation of technology lawyers in her current role as Clinical Teaching Fellow.
