Zahr K. Said is a Professor of Law at Santa Clara University School of Law, where her scholarship sits at the intersection of copyright, artificial intelligence, and the interpretive questions at the heart of intellectual property disputes. A nationally recognized voice on the role of the jury in IP litigation and on how courts read and construe creative works, Professor Said brings an unusually interdisciplinary lens to legal questions—grounded in advanced training in comparative literature as well as law. She is also a committed teacher and innovator in legal pedagogy, having authored an open-access tort law casebook that reframes the field around questions of race, gender, class, and ability.
