Hello Members:
Our first meeting was a huge success! We had a tremendous turnout, and it was great getting feedback regarding what members are looking to get from the club. We’ve taken your feedback and are using it to develop future events and ideas. Here are a few updates…
Future Plans:
Hosting First CSDPS Career Panel – We are working on getting a panel of attorneys practicing in the private and public sector, including the Federal Trade Commission, for our first panel. Our goal is to cover a wide area of law for those of you who are hoping to learn about the various practice areas that cyber security and data privacy touches. The date is currently pending while we figure out what works for the panelists, however, it is tentatively scheduled for one of the last two weeks of March (March 21, 22, 27, or 28).
Co-Sponsoring Chicago-Kent Event – We are excited to announce that we will be co-hosting an event at Chicago-Kent with Professor Andrews and Professor Warner. The event is called “Defending Out Data: Privacy, Security, and the Wave of Data Breaches,” and is scheduled for Friday, April 7, 2017. The event will take place from 9:00 AM-4:00 PM, including a reception at the end. This will be a great event for anyone interest in learning about this area of the law and meeting influential professionals working in the field.
Upcoming Volunteer Needs:
We may need some volunteers to help the day of the April 7th Data Privacy event as mentioned above. Please let us know if you are interested!

Looking for a career in technology, privacy, and law?

Have you ever wondered if your Facebook posts could be subpoenaed in court? Do you worry about how private your privacy settings really are in your favorite apps? Are you interested in an emerging market that’s set to double by 2020?

If so, a legal career in cyber security and data privacy may be for you.

Cybersecurity professionals are in high demand. The current U.S. shortage of more than 200,000 qualified employees is expected to reach 1 to 2 million by 2019. Although a recent jump in the number of threats is one reason for this need for talent, that’s just half the problem. The other half of the problem remains a lack of talent entering the field.

Join Chicago-Kent’s Cyber Security & Data Privacy Student Society to learn more about one of the fastest-growing areas of law and the career opportunities that exist in this exciting area!
