Law, Technology & the Arts Opportunities

Here at Case we are fortunate to have the Center for Law, Technology, and the Arts. The Center brings top-notch professors, outstanding course offerings, and interesting speakers and programs. In addition to taking advantage of all the Center has to offer, students are encouraged to consider an internship in the field.

For students interested in Law & Technology, job opportunities often revolve around the patent side of intellectual property, either through patent prosecution or patent litigation with a law firm. A large number of firms with intellectual property practices participate in our interview programs here at Case. In addition, we facilitate participation of our students in the Patent Law Interview Program hosted by Loyola Law School every August. For students looking for non-firm opportunities, we have also had students work at the Case Technology Transfer Office and the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

Students who are interested in pursuing Law & the Arts opportunities will want to consider an internship with an arts organization. Past student internships have included Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (various cities), 3 Arts Entertainment (Los Angeles), the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland), and NBC-Universal's Legal Department (Los Angeles).

The CSO has several resources to help locate opportunities in this area. These include the Law, Technology & the Arts Binder and the Patent Law Binder in the CSO resource room. Also, be sure to check the resources listed on the CSO website and blackboard course.
