Santa Clara University School of law has received a $500,000 gift from the law firm of Blakely, Sokoloff, Taylor & Zafman LLP to honor their deceased partner, Ed Taylor. Mr. Taylor was a member of the Dean’s High Tech Advisory Council, taught patent law courses for many years, and hosted many events for admitted students at the law firm offices. He was a great friend of Santa Clara Law and its students.
The scholarship is set up to provide financial assistance to law students who have a strong interest in intellectual property law practice and have undergraduate or graduate degrees in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics or related fields. The endowed scholarship fund will support up to three students a year, one in each year of study at the law school.
Santa Clara Law is very grateful for the generous support provided by Blakely, Sokoloff, Taylor & Zafman LLP to honor and remember our mutual friend and colleague, Ed Taylor.
