SCHOOL LIFE & CAREERS
Blockchain Law for Social Good Center
USF’s Blockchain Law for Social Good Center is a training ground for the next generation of lawyers, lawmakers and policy-enforcers to think about technology, society, and the law in a balanced way.
The Blockchain Law for Social Good Center is the first of its kind in the nation.
Our mission is to create the training grounds to equip law students, lawyers, entrepreneurs, policymakers and government officials at the federal, state and local level, on the socially beneficial use cases of blockchain law and emerging technology.
We are committed to democratizing blockchain law education to better inform a balanced, inclusive and prosocial regulatory scheme for blockchain innovation in the United States. To do this, we’ve organized our work according to four key priorities: education, community, research and policy.
