Santa Clara University Tech Edge J.D.

Tech Edge would like to thank Max Wang, Miles Palley, Nicole Diaz from legal department for joining the cohort for an interesting conversation about law career paths and applications for AI in legal work.

Has the Graduate-School Collapse Begun? The Trump administration’s policies, and institutional budget cuts, are straining the delivery of master’s and doctoral degrees.

Ever wondered what happens behind the bench? Tech Edge J.D. students got to meet Judge Daniel T. Nishigaya and learn about the courtroom experience. Thanks to the Student Executive Board for organizing this awesome opportunity!

Join us for our last info session of the fall. We’ll talk all things Tech Edge and the benefits of the program. There will be time for your questions, and some application tips. Join us!

A Note from Dean, Michael J. Kaufman

The Santa Clara Law community sends its heartfelt congratulations to all of its graduates who have passed the Bar Exam in California and in many other states, as well as to those graduates who will surely overcome this hurdle very soon. We are incredibly proud of all of our graduates, each of whom has developed life long habits of mind and heart that will empower them to serve their clients and communities with competence, conscience, and compassion.
