While interning for federal judge Rudolph Contreras last fall, Eric Ahern ’25 found himself assisting with motions for attorney fees — a tedious process involving sprawling spreadsheets, complex rate applications, and years of attorney data. With little coding experience prior, Eric took matters into his own hand and built a tool that now helps streamline the process, saving time, reducing errors, and improving efficiency. “I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could create something at the intersection of law and technology that would endure beyond my own internship and continue to support those working with the Fitzpatrick Matrix in the future,” Ahern says. “My time at UC Berkeley Law, particularly my experiences with the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology and the Berkeley Technology Law Journal, gave me both the skills and the confidence to pursue this project.” Tap the link in our bio to learn more about Eric's process and journey into technology law. #UCBerkeleyLaw #Law #TechLaw

Will AI deepen racial inequality and exclusion—or can it be leveraged to advance equity, inclusion, and a more participatory democracy? An event co-hosted by the Goldman School of Public Policy and UC Berkeley Law’s Edley Center on Law and Democracy explored this critical question.  Tech Policy for a Just Future was moderated by Edley Center Executive Director Catherine E. Lhamon, and featured George Washington Law Professor Spencer Overton and Brennan Center for Justice Vice President of Elections and Government Lawrence Norden, a visiting lecturer at UC Berkeley Law this year.  “There’s a lot of potential for AI to be a great equalizer,” Norden said. “But it’s not going to just happen if companies don’t have incentives to make that a priority.”  #UCBerkeleyLaw #BerkeleyPublicPolicy #AI #RacialJustice
