In 2021, in partnership with Intel Corporation, NCCU School of Law was awarded a five-million-dollar, five-year grant that provided for the creation of the NCCU Technology Law and Policy Center (TLPC). The TLPC is committed to fostering innovation, advancing critical conversations, and preparing our students to thrive in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
Mission of the TLPC
The TLPC’s mission is to train tech-conscious lawyers to enhance legal practice and access to justice, develop a broad range of tech law experts to meet evolving client needs, and engage in policy discussions to promote just technology laws, regulations, and practices.
NCCU Law’s Law and Technology Certificate (LTC) recognizes students who complete a focused curriculum, covering a broad range of tech law, in-depth study in a specialty area, and demonstrated competence in law practice technology.
For students interested in careers in AI governance and data privacy, the TLPC offers courses and support so students can earn professional industry-level certifications while in law school. This provides students with a competitive edge.
Students earning the LTC receive additional career development and job finding support. Legal tech-related stipends are also available.
The work of the NCCU Technology Law and Policy Center is supported by donors like you who believe in advancing a practice-ready curriculum grounded in innovation, policy, and justice. Your contribution helps expand student opportunities, strengthen community engagement, and support forward-looking legal education at the intersection of law and technology.
