In an increasingly technology-driven, globally
connected world, there is an escalating
need for legal specialists in data protection,
privacy and cybersecurity. In recognition of
this need, Albany Law School announced it
will be offering a new concentration in law
and cybersecurity beginning in the fall.

The program–a collaboration with the
University at Albany’s School of Emergency
Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity
(CEHC)–will prepare J.D. graduates
to provide counsel to a broad range of industries
and individuals on an array of legal
matters, including: data breach; cybercrime;
compliance with state, local, federal, and
international privacy laws and regulations;
implementing security policies; records management;
digital media privacy; litigation; and
more, college officials said.

“The security of our personal information
and technological infrastructures in business
and government is an ever-growing concern.
The need for legal experts in this field will only
become greater as networks expand and the
value of data increases,” said Alicia Ouellette,
president and dean of Albany Law School.
“Our law school, located in New York’s capital
and the heart of Tech Valley, is an ideal lab for
studying these areas.”

“This program is precisely the kind of collaboration
we envisioned when we developed
an affiliation with Albany Law School,” said
UAlbany President Robert J. Jones. “Together,
our two institutions are leveraging capacity
that will provide highly specialized training
for cybersecurity professionals and meet a
massive and growing need both regionally
and nationally.”
