“I would not want to write scholarship and not get to talk about it.” For Professor Diana Reddy, ideas matter most when they are shared. In the latest 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸, 3L Zara Tayebjee talks with Reddy about her paper, 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘉𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘓𝘢𝘸, and why engaging with the Berkeley Law community is part of the work itself. #BerkeleyLaw #BehindTheWork #LegalScholarship 📹: @quotablepictures
Bulgaria → Berkeley. Fulbright scholar. If you don't understand the tech, you shouldn't regulate it. Elena Dragusheva LL.M. '26 does both. She studied computer science alongside law so she could shape the rules of emerging technology before it scales, not after. At Berkeley Law, she's working alongside engineers and founders at the place where the tech is actually being built. From a childhood diary entry in Sofia to a global mission in intellectual property and tech policy. This is what it looks like. Fun fact: @uofcalifornia is one of the top institutions producing Fulbright students! #Fulbright #FulbrightScholar #BerkeleyLaw #TechLaw #IPLaw #WomenInLaw #InternationalStudents #Bulgaria #LawSchool #AI #ComputerScience #Innovation Go Bears! 🐻
“My heroes are now younger than me.” William H. D. Fernholz, Jesse H. Choper Lecturer in Residence and Director of Berkeley Law’s Appellate Program, received the Rutter Award for Teaching Distinction today. Established in 1995, the award honors faculty with an outstanding commitment to teaching. A life-changing teacher, mentor, friend, and colleague who reminds his students: before you are a lawyer, you are a person. His student evaluations say it plainly: “Bill is the best.” Fernholz distilled it to three words: “Teaching is hope.” Congratulations, Professor Bill. #BerkeleyLaw #RutterAward
