Santa Clara Law’s Privacy Law Certificate reflects the growing importance of privacy issues to the global, national and California economies. Privacy concerns have become mission-critical for many key Silicon Valley companies, and privacy has emerged as one of the major social issues of our time. As a result, legislators are constantly enacting new privacy laws, privacy litigation has exploded, and companies are frequently struggling with privacy imbroglios and (sometimes) proactively trying to avoid them. All of this privacy-related legal activity is fueling strong employer demand for dedicated law students with demonstrated privacy expertise. The Privacy Law Certificate is an important resource for those students.
