Dorothy Roberts is the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology and the Raymond Pace and Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Professor of Civil Rights at the University of Pennsylvania. Her pathbreaking work in law and public policy focuses on social justice issues related to reproductive freedom, child welfare, and biopolitics.
In her 2021 BCLT Privacy Lecture, Prof. Roberts will explore themes from her forthcoming book on family policing. As predictive technologies are integrated into the child protection services and foster care systems, her analysis of the nature and impact of government surveillance on families will be especially timely.

25th Annual BCLT/BTLJ Symposium:
The Emergent Right to Repair
April 22, 2022

Registration
General Public: $225
Academics, Nonprofits, NGOs, and Government: $50
Lawyers 6 years or less out of law school: $50
Berkeley Law Students: complimentary
This symposium will consider the complex, overlapping set of policy questions at the center of the repair debate. How do restrictions on repair, or their elimination, affect competition? How might policymakers resolve potential tensions between the right to repair and the intellectual property rights of device makers? Would the consumer benefits of open repair markets outweigh their risks? And what legislative solutions or other policy interventions are best-suited to address these questions?

Talk IV – Date TBA: The 5G+ / IoT Challenges
In 2021, the Asia IP and Technology Law Project will host a four-part virtual series, which aims to facilitate in-depth conversations to address the underlying pervasive issues fueling these key challenges. Hopefully, these conversations can also serve as part of the basis to building more consensus and cooperation into the landscape of international SEP jurisprudence.
Each webinar will last 75 – 90 minutes. This online series is free, and CLE credit will be provided. Dr. Yuan Hao will moderate this series.
