SciTech Profile Book

It would be hard to identify any area of law, or life for that matter, that is not affected in some way by science or technology. Every day, another scientific or technological innovation comes along that challenges and changes the way things have traditionally been viewed and done.
During the Science & Technology Law Section 35th Celebration, we asked SciTech leaders how they came to join SciTech and created this profile book.
