Overview of class
In this interactive, activity-based seminar course, students will play the role of outside counsel as we examine corporate actors' privacy obligations. This is not a lecture-based class, and most of class time will be spent in group activities not lectures. Mirroring law firm group activities, student groups will work together both during and outside of class to provide practical approaches to legal privacy obligations for a corporate client.
Registration Requirements
Students must attend the first class. Additionally, without a pre-authorized accommodation, students may miss only one class (with an overall grade reduction of 2%). Credit will not be given if students miss more than one class. See the syllabus for a list of authorized accommodations.
Learning Objectives
This class will help students build skills both in data privacy law as well as how to guide corporate stakeholders towards compliance.

Thomas on Data Breach: A Practical Guide to Global Privacy Laws, 2023 Ed (NOT 2021 ED!) as well as readings that will be available on Canvas
