Law and Technology Institute (LTI)

The Law and Technology Institute (LTI) offers an enhanced curriculum to students interested in exploring the many important legal questions and policy debates surrounding evolving technologies. The curriculum equips students with a well-rounded foundation while also allowing them to pursue a particular area of interest, including communications/data privacy law and intellectual property law. LTI students gain valuable practical experience through externships in government, industry, public interest organizations, and law firms.

In the recording below, Professor Elizabeth Winston, co-director of LTI, delves deeper into the wide variety of opportunities—both skill-building and career-oriented—that this study has made accessible to Catholic Law students through the Institute’s unique curriculum.

Students have the opportunity to hone their research, writing, advocacy, and leadership skills through participation in various co-curricular activities, such as the Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology, formerly known as the CommLaw Conspectus: Journal of Communications Law and Technology Policy. LTI students additionally plan and participate in programming on various law and technology topics, and have regular opportunities to network with our accomplished and dedicated alumni and friends.
