Integrated Cybersecurity Studies

This LLM degree concentration provides students with a sophisticated understanding of the legal, policy, and technical architectures associated with cybersecurity.  It is designed from the ground up to be transdisciplinary, featuring bespoke courses open, not just to law students, but to other graduate schools from across the campus.  No prior expertise is required or expected.

The program is sponsored and supported by the Robert Strauss Center for International Security & Law, under the supervision of Professor Bobby Chesney (who serves both as Director of the Strauss Center and the School of Law’s Associate Dean for Academic Affairs).  The Strauss Center encourages all applicants, and especially encourages applications from military judge advocates and others seeking a deep understanding of the U.S. approach to the full-spectrum of legal and policy issues associated with cybersecurity and cyber operations. Students enrolled in the Cybersecurity LLM also become “cybersecurity fellows” at the Strauss Center, and as such constitute a cohort participating in a wide range of Strauss Center activities relating to cybersecurity (including conferences, policy competitions, and speakers).
