Technology and privacy issues affect nearly every aspect of our lives. Knowing the law and underlying policies will help you succeed in our technology-driven world. The John Marshall Law school has a long tradition of being at the forefront of legal education-anticipating practice trends and the impact of emerging technologies on law and business. Since the early 1970's, even before the creation of the Center for Information Technology and Privacy Law in 1983, the law school has been offering courses in privacy and technology law and policy.

Whether you are a practicing lawyer wanting to enhance your knowledge of IT and privacy law, a law student interested in distinguishing yourself with a sought-after skill set, a business professional or policy maker looking to advance your career, we offer a wide range of activities, courses and degree programs to suit your needs.

We invite you to explore this web site to learn how you can round out your education and develop a marketable expertise for today's and tomorrow's legal environment.
