New Robert Barr Scholarship Honors BCLT's Executive Director Robert Barr's far-reaching impact on Berkeley Law and the intellectual property field will be honored in perpetuity through a newly created scholarship in his name. Three former co-workers of Barr, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology (BCLT), have raised nearly $300,000 from 34 donors. Each year, the scholarship will be awarded to a student who has demonstrated financial need and a strong interest in technology law. The recipient will receive $10,000 per academic year, and engage in specialized studies with Barr and other prominent IP scholars at the school. |
