Santa Clara Law’s High Tech faculty includes a dozen full-time faculty members with expertise on almost every aspect of intellectual property and high tech law, plus two dozen part-time faculty working on the front lines of IP and high tech law at leading Silicon Valley law firms and technology companies.

Goldman, academic director of the High Tech Law Institute, practiced as an Internet attorney in Silicon Valley for eight years before becoming a full-time academic. Goldman says he stays focused on “what the Law School needs to do next to keep its edge. Our challenge is to continually evolve and improve our curriculum to reflect the realities facing 21st century lawyers.”

ALUMNI IN THE VALLEY
Hundreds of Santa Clara Alumni work in-house at some of the country’s top corporations including: eBay, Cisco, and Facebook.

SCOTT SHIPMAN ’99
The Silicon Valley start-up was 70 employees strong—and growing—when Scott Shipman (right) was an intern at eBay back in the summer of 1998. Shipman, interning for credit through Santa Clara Law, found himself dividing up the legal baskets with the company’s one lawyer, from user agreements and domain names to privacy policy, Internet advertising, and commercial agreements. That fall the company went public—the eBay explosion was underway. Shipman went back to classes but also kept his job, and after law school signed on with eBay as a full attorney. Today, Shipman is eBay’s Associate General Counsel, Global Privacy Leader.
