BTLJ Membership is open to all students at Berkeley School of Law, including all current first-year, LLM, and JSP students. In addition to cutting-edge research at the intersection of law and technology, BTLJ also hosts a variety of social events for its members. No science background is necessary, only a great attitude and a curiosity of how technology shapes the law and vice versa.
Incoming and Current Students
All current Berkeley Law students, including incoming first-year students, have the opportunity become general members at BTLJ in both fall and spring semesters. Similar to other journals, you pay a membership fee, attend our general meetings, and have the opportunity to work on cutting edge legal research. As a general member you are also eligible to become an editorial board member. Every year in the spring, BTLJ holds elections in which interested general members run for leadership roles at the journal. For more information, please email btlj@law.berkeley.edu.
Transfer Students
While transfer students can become general members anytime, BTLJ encourages interested transfer students to join BTLJ during recruitment at the beginning of the fall or spring semester. Additionally, BTLJ typically elects several editorial board positions in the summer, just before the fall semester begins. If you have been admitted to Berkeley Law as a transfer student and are interested in joining BTLJ as a general member or editorial board member, please email btlj@law.berkeley.edu. We will share detailed information on the process and timelines.
