The University of San Francisco is recognized nationally and internationally as a premier Jesuit, Catholic, urban university with a global perspective. Its mission is to educate leaders who will fashion a more humane and just world and the BL4SG Center advances this mandate.
Founded in 1912, USF Law is fully accredited by the ABA and is a member of the AALS. It offers both a JD degree and the following dual degree programs: JD/Master of Business Administration, JD/Master of Public Affairs, and JD/ Master of Arts in Urban Affairs.

Embracing the University's mission, USF Law is dedicated to pursuing excellence and educating for justice, evidenced by the quality of students who attend the law school, the faculty's commitment to teaching and to scholarship, and an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming learning community.
The BL4SG Center was conceived and launched by Professor Michele Neitz in February 2022 to address a gap in the awareness and education about existing and innovative social impact projects happening in the blockchain space that would be of interest and importance to the public as well as legislators and policymakers. The Center is supported by the Algorand Foundation and Filecoin Foundation, and is the first of its kind in the United States.
The Center's Mission is comprised of Three Pillars:
(1) Education: promoting blockchain education for law students, lawyers, legislators and regulators through classes, speakers series, conferences, and other forums;
(2) Community: developing a diverse legal community fluent in blockchain-related issues; and
(3) Research & Policy: advancing research and policy in the emerging field of blockchain technology and the law, with a focus on how this new technology will advance socially beneficial causes.
The Director of the BL4SG Center is building a new type of academic center, one that works seamlessly with law students, attorneys, government stakeholders, and key members of the growing blockchain industry. The Director will work with the Founding Director and members of the BL4SG Center's Advisory Board to expand and execute the Center's mission and develop best practices for the Center's operations.
