To ensure a blend of classroom study and real-world exposure, concentrators are encouraged to pursue a relevant internship or externship. The CDLI works to create internship opportunities with law firms and companies.

The Concentration

Concentrators must successfully complete at least five courses in data law. They must take at least two of the four core courses that cover the essential substantive law: (1) Information Governance Law, (2) Cybersecurity, (3) E-Discovery, Digital Evidence & Computer Forensics, and (4) Privacy Law.

They must take at least three additional classes, totaling at least eight credits, from a list of electives. In addition, they can take related courses that do not count toward the concentration, but help further their understanding of the field.

Overview

The Cardozo Data Law Initiative (CDLI) is a groundbreaking program designed to prepare law students for careers in the rapidly expanding legal fields of information governance, e-discovery, data privacy, social media law and cybersecurity.

A decade ago, there was no such thing as a lawyer who specialized in data law. Since then, the evolution of technology has transformed the way we communicate and do business—creating a demand for lawyers who specialize in this field.

The CDLI offers a comprehensive program of courses focused on various aspects of data law. Students who choose to concentrate in data law are offered coursework taught by faculty at the top of the field, clinical experience, and externship opportunities with leading organizations.
