Adrienne Go
Director Adrienne Go, Assoc. General Counsel, Global Product, eBay
Adrienne Go, of San Francisco, has been associate general counsel at eBay Inc. since 2007, where she was senior director from 2005 to 2007. She served as a deputy city attorney at the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office from 1996 to 2005 and was an associate at Morrison and Foerster LLP from 1988 to 1996. Go earned a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School.
“Law schools have always been good at producing – lawyers,” says Go. “But I’m not sure that is enough anymore. In today’s world, we need to cultivate and train those who can untangle global political challenges, drive change in our local communities, represent those who seek justice, and disrupt status quo thinking. UC Law SF is perfectly situated to serve this mission, with an excellent faculty, a diverse student body, a convenient locale, and robust internships, all at a fair price. Having practiced both domestically and internationally, in a law firm, for the public sector, and in a Fortune 500 company, I am looking forward to investing my breadth of experience into this world-class institution.”

“I am excited to continue to work with UC Law SF and support the hard work of its faculty, staff, and students,” says Osmeña. “As the law department of the University of California, UC Law SF has an important responsibility to define what professional education can look like over the next decade–providing access to those students for whom legal education has been out of reach, remaining sustainable in an uncertain fiscal environment, and responding creatively to the many challenges higher education will continue to face. I look forward to contributing to this big task as best I can.”
