In our increasingly technological world, attorneys must be able to offer sophisticated expertise regarding complex business considerations, security and privacy challenges, public policy and constitutional concerns as they advise clients, establish legal frameworks and lead on policy issues.
The Cybersecurity and Information Privacy concentration is designed to provide a legal, ethical and practical framework for students who aspire to serve as stewards of privacy and protect clients from cyberattacks. The course material and experiential learning opportunities within the concentration provide future lawyers with the necessary tools to lead this dynamic practice area.
Inside the classroom, students will build a strong foundation as they explore basic constitutional rights to privacy, existing legislative and regulatory protections, and new developments in international law. Through experiential learning opportunities, students will further develop the practical skills and ethical sensitivity they will need as lawyers to guide individual, corporate, governmental and non-governmental clients involved in collecting and protecting information.
Students gain real-world experience working with attorneys in corporations, government, non-profits and private practice.
