The UCLA Institute for Technology, Law & Policy in collaboration with the UCLA Journal of Law and Technology invite you to Careers in Tech Law 2026, an in-person event showcasing the breadth of career opportunities available in technology law. What is the day-to-day experience of a transactional lawyer or litigator working in intellectual property, artificial intelligence, privacy, security, and technology law? How is AI changing the landscape? How can law students set themselves up for success in these fast-moving areas of law and policy? 

Join us for a series of plenary panels and networking opportunities with leading professionals from law firms, legal tech companies, non-profits, and the public sector. Designed to cater to a wide range of interests, high-level speakers will be featured from Sheppard and Kirkland & Ellis, the California Department of Justice and California Privacy Protection Agency, Harvey and Legora, and Electronic Frontier Foundation,  Free Press, and Just Futures Law, among others. Event programming will be followed by a catered reception and opportunities to meet with leading practitioners and organizations.

Note that a space-limited plenary panel will be offered to early registering J.D. students at 3:45–4:45 PM, followed by main-stage plenary panels for all students from 5:00–7:00PM and a networking reception and tabling from 7:00-8:30PM. Specific panelists and further organizations to be announced.

Please support our events team by registering for this event by Monday, September 14, 2026. For inquiries, email ITLP@law.ucla.edu.
