A message from
Dean Kellye Testy
We are delighted to announce the launch of the Law, Technology & Arts Group (LTA)
- an entirely new kind of academic unit for U.S. law schools.
LTA integrates and administers all of the UW School of Law's education, research,
and outreach in the areas of tech law, art law, and intellectual property. A single
set of faculty Directors oversee a robust J.D. and LL.M. curriculum, an integrated
tech and art law clinic, an established journal, an internationally renowned set
of annual conferences and a new speaker series.
We hope you will join us as we build on the world class art and technology communities
centered at the UW and in Seattle to establish LTA as the hub of dialogue on the
intersection of law, technology, and arts. Innovation in all its forms is the lifeblood
of twenty-first century economies. Innovation in the law is needed to ensure that
innovation in technology and arts is vibrantly promoted and properly regulated.
LTA's mission is to simultaneiously consider both of these sides to the law's role
in creativity and innovation through outstanding teaching, research, and service.
