BLG: Biotechnology Law Group
BLG is organized to study the intersection of biotechnology and the law. The goal of this student group is to support the education of the students and promote interest in the industry.
BLG exists to facilitate students’ access to resources inside and outside of the normal academic curricula at Santa Clara University School of Law. In fulfilling its mission to increase student involvement in current issues, BLG is an active participant in the formation of career decision of students, an integral part of a student's entry into the field, a connection to the biotechnology industry in the Bay Area, and a vehicle by which alumni may contact and promote the interests of Santa Clara graduates.
