Clint Ehrlich:
Computer Scientist + Lawyer.
Clint Ehrlich is one of America's foremost experts on the intersection of law and technology.
​​
Clint has extensive experience in eight- and nine-figure civil litigation in state and federal courts, including the California Supreme Court, the California Court of Appeal, and the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal. He was previously a partner at Trial Lawyers for Justice, where he headed the firm's nationwide appellate practice. In his pro bono work, he has taken on the FBI and freed an innocent man serving life in prison for murder.
​
In addition to his legal acumen, Clint has distinguished himself as a computer scientist. He invented Lossless Context Management, a technique that outperformed Anthropic's Claude Code for long-context reasoning, and which was subsequently incorporated into OpenAI's OpenClaw system.
​
​
​
He holds a U.S. patent for the invention of advanced cryptographic networking protocols (US11151549B2), which has been cited more than 80 times in the subsequent literature, including by IBM, PayPal, Verizon, Baidu, American Express, MasterCard, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, CapitalOne, Accenture, Intuit, and CoinBase.
​
Clint was appointed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal's A.I. Committee by the Circuit's Chief Judge. He previously served as a Principal Investigator for the U.S. National Science Foundation, which awarded him a quarter-million-dollar grant for his work adapting biological signaling theory to build fault-tolerant distributed systems.
Clint has been featured in the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, Foreign Policy, the BBC, NPR, and Dateline NBC. He was a Visiting Researcher in the Faculty of International Law at MGIMO University, Russia's most elite academic institution, where he pursued PhDs in international law and nuclear game theory.
