Technology plays an ever-growing role in our economy, society and political discourse. Rapid innovations in data gathering and analysis, machine learning and digital technology are transforming our social interactions, economic markets, civic institutions – almost every part of our lives. The laws and policy frameworks related to technology are therefore increasingly relevant, and not just to lawyers. Journalists, product developers, entrepreneurs, policy advisors, civil society advocates and others seek specialized, current, sophisticated knowledge of how the law and technology relate to each other. 

Georgetown’s Master of Law and Technology program provides a unique opportunity for individuals without a law degree to understand the quickly evolving legal landscape shaping tech policy. Students in the program gain a foundational understanding of the American legal system, as well as established laws governing technology and the intersection of the law with emerging technologies. In this unique interdisciplinary program, students pair their law school classes with courses in the Communication, Culture & Technology Master’s Program.

This program is currently paused, and we are currently not accepting applications for the Master of Law and Technology program for the coming academic year.
