At Georgetown Law, we are integrating deep, hands-on technological instruction with a traditional technology law curriculum. Core courses provide a rigorous grounding in privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity and antitrust law. Our advanced courses and seminars — taught by full-time faculty and adjunct faculty who are leaders in their fields — range from Information Privacy, to International Trade and Public Health, to the Law of Robots and Music Law.
Last updated November 2024. Course names that include “(WR)” satisfy the Georgetown University Law Center Upperclass Legal Writing Requirement and the Tech Law Scholars writing requirement. Linked courses are currently scheduled for the 2024–2025 academic year.
The Technology Law and Policy LLM curriculum and the Masters in Law and Technology (MLT) curriculum is available online.
