About Us

BriefBank is a BriefBank is a free, community-supported resource that collects and redistributes briefs in the area of law, technology, and public policy. BriefBank is a supplementary resource designed to help researchers who already have significant knowledge of the legal domain. BriefBank is a concentrated collection in a narrow legal area, allowing us to provide a depth of information not presently available in disparate competing systems.

Briefs are generously donated by legal scholars and partner organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Media Access Project.

BriefBank is sponsored by the Samuelson Law, Technology, and Public Policy Clinic at Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. The Samuelson Clinic is responsible for system administration and staff support. BriefBank is hosted at the School of Information Management and Systems (SIMS) at the University of California, Berkeley. BriefBank was developed by graduate students at SIMS.
