"Starting a Privacy Law Career"

Daniel J. Solove, John Marshall Harlan Research Professor of Law, pens an article for LinkedIn on the challenges of starting a privacy law career.

Professor Solove offers a series of seven tips to work around the bottleneck, including taking a course in privacy law and looking for non-traditional types of jobs, such as fellowships or policymaking positions.
