Adjunct Professor Chris Savage teaches Information Privacy. Chris is a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine. After serving for many years as Co-Chair of the firm's Communications Practice, Chris now focuses his practice on privacy and data security matters. Before joining Davis Wright Tremaine, Chris led the Telecom Practice at Cole, Raywid & Braverman, LLP after several years as a senior attorney with Bell Atlantic Network Services Inc.

Chris currently counsels clients in communications and data-centric industries on complex privacy and data security issues. His most recent article, published in the Stanford Technology Law Review, is entitled, Managing the Ambient Trust Commons: The Economics of Online Consumer Information Privacy, 22 Stan. Tech. Rev. 95 (2019)

When he's not teaching, Chris enjoys My running, hiking, and reading (mainly, these days, history and science fiction). He convenes at least weekly with a number of friends for informal "adult education" classes. Recent topics include Reconstruction and Jim Crow, a history of Eastern Europe, an exploration of the lives of people of the Steppes (Mongols and their earlier compatriots), neuroscience, and basic structural engineering. Professor Savage's teaching is an integral part of the CICR program.

In his words, "Every organization, large or small, needs to comply with complicated and overlapping rules protecting the privacy of consumers, employees and others. I'm proud that CUA's Compliance, Investigations & Corporate Responsibility program includes Information Privacy Law as part of the grounding needed to ensure that organizations fulfill their legal responsibilities."
