At law school, policy is often a background discussion – something left to private chats with professors or fellow students as a creature of curiosity.

IP Intensive: An Engineer in Silicon Valley Plus a Law Student at Stanford University Equals a Kid in a Candy Store - A Semester at CodeX
My experience at CodeX at Stanford University was like being a kid in a candy store. After immersing myself in the engineering field for some years and then jumping into the legal field, I desired an opportunity to take a step back and study how law and engineering can intersect. CodeX was such an opportunity. […]
