It is malpractice for law schools to not offer a full range of privacy and cybersecurity law classes. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-big-data-turned-into-big-business-for-cyber-and-privacy-lawyers-11607509801

I’ve given career advice to too many law students/grads who tell me their schools offer no privacy or security classss, or teach the subjects as a small unit in a “cyber law” class that also includes IP and other topics.

Not only are privacy and cybersecurity law important to society, but also...there are jobs! Students want jobs. Law schools should want their students to have jobs.

I hope that in 5-10 years, a law school that doesn't teach privacy and cybersecurity will be as much of an outlier as a law school that doesn't teach securities regulation or tax.

Some schools get it. My alma mater, Georgetown, has invested significantly in a deep bench of amazing faculty for privacy, security, and all things tech law. (Though I wish they were all there when I attended law school!)

But other schools seem to treat privacy and cybersecurity law as a passing fad.
