Eric Goldman and Laura Norris's co-creation and implementation of the Tech Edge JD Program and the Santa Clara Privacy Law Certificate have significantly impacted the pedagogy and curricular development at the Santa Clara University School of Law. The Tech Edge J.D. offers a significant innovation in the study and teaching of law. Described as nothing short of revolutionary, the program seamlessly integrates legal, business, and technology studies. The Privacy Law Certificate embodies the growing significance of privacy issues in the global, national, and California economies. Addressing this demand, the Privacy Law Certificate serves as an invaluable resource for students aiming to specialize in privacy law, and for the companies who need them.
