Applications are now open for the Privacy & Data Security Section’s 2026-2027 Law School Liaison Program, a unique opportunity for North Carolina law students interested in privacy, cybersecurity and emerging technology law. The program is designed for students who want to engage with the Section, build professional connections and gain exposure to the issues shaping this constantly evolving field. Any law student who is curious about privacy and data security — or anyone who knows a student who might be a good fit — is encouraged to explore the program and apply.

Selected Liaisons will attend quarterly Section Council meetings, assist with planning the Section’s annual CLE, help compile resources for members, and promote opportunities for law student involvement. The role offers direct interaction with practicing attorneys and insight into how the Section develops programming and supports new lawyers. Eligibility requires being an active NCBA member and a 2L, 3L or LLM student at a North Carolina law school. Applications are due Tuesday, May 12, and selections will be made at the May Section Council meeting, with the program beginning in July 2026. The application is available online.
