The
Journal of Technology Law & Policy is a scholarly legal journal, published twice per year, devoted to the discussion of relevant technology issues, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, antitrust, information privacy, and computer law. The
Journal is one of four co-curricular journals produced at the University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law. Today, the
Journal operates as one of less than a dozen national technology law journals that offer both hardbound and online print. International in both focus and readership, the hardbound version of the
Journal is subscribed to throughout the United States by public and private law libraries, and by leading institutions in Europe, Israel, and South America. In addition, the online version of the
Journal is read and hyperlinked by universities and institutions in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
Since its founding in the Fall of 1995, the
Journal has steadily become one of the foremost national intellectual property and technology law academic publications. The
Journal began as a project of the Internet and Computer Law Association, a University of Florida student organization. The
Journal became a fully accredited independent academic journal in Spring 1999. Since the June 2000 Edition, the
Journal has been available in hardbound print.
Membership in the
Journal is limited to students at the College of Law, who exclusively review and edit the
Journal, under the supervision and guidance of a College of Law Faculty Advisor. Students in their third, fourth, and fifth semesters are eligible for membership on the
Journal based on outstanding academic achievement or writing ability. The
Journal extends invitations to the students who demonstrate superior academic performance in any one of the four core courses comprising the College of Law’s
Intellectual Property curriculum (Intellectual Property Survey, Copyrights, Trademarks, and Patents). All other students in good academic standing may compete in each semester’s open writing competition, where a student submits a case comment dealing with either technology or intellectual property law for consideration. If the work demonstrates superior analysis and writing skills, the
Journal extends an offer of membership. Students working on the
Journal can receive up to three credits towards graduation.
