The Power of Certifications In the Legal Industry
Over the next decade, the integration of machines and the experts who wield them effectively into the practice of law will dynamically affect the careers of both practicing attorneys and the legal support staff community.

Privacy
There is no word in 2018 that has shifted more aggressively from corporate to social consciousness than privacy. Privacy as a profession is not entirely new, but over the last year privacy has been in the spotlight like never before. Privacy professional positions are becoming a staple for any healthy corporate legal operation, an invaluable area to support and practice at a firm and a growing arena for legal service providers.

More recently, Facebook's highly publicized relationship with Cambridge Analytica has intensified a populist demand for awareness and action related to how a company handles data privacy. Awareness and action, however, are two distinct modalities, and only one certification program has aimed at solving both the challenge of privacy education as well as privacy solution operationalization.
