Privacy Law Section Committees
Contact us at privacy@calawyers.org if you would like more information about joining the following committees or if you are interested in exploring other committees or working groups.
Privacy Treatise Committee
The Privacy Treatise Committee publishes the California Privacy Law Treatise. This master treatise comprehensively documents and describes this area of law, which presents a broad and rich palette for practitioners and regulators. Each year, seasoned practitioners of differing perspectives are engaged to update new developments in this area of law. A team of peer reviewers also drawn from the ranks of California’s leading practitioners are tasked with the review of the yearly update. This treatise is published in paper with Matthew Bender (LexisNexis) and online with both Matthew Bender and Westlaw. In early 2021, the Committee will be publishing the California Consumer Privacy Act Handbook.
Privacy Publications Committee
The Privacy Publications Committee publishes regular privacy news updates and in-depth articles about the newest developments in California privacy law and other privacy laws that impact Californians and businesses in the state. We also partner with the Education Committee to offer short form interviews and discussions through social media platforms such as LinkedIn Live. The Committee maintains the Section website and aims to have the site serve as a resource for California privacy professionals. Click here for recent privacy articles published by the section.
Privacy Education Committee
The Privacy Education Committee organizes and sponsors webinars, conferences and offers MCLE programming to keep California privacy practitioners up to date on developments in privacy law. Our educational events include speakers from all walks of privacy law including plaintiffs’ counsel, defense lawyers, government regulators, and agency representatives.
Legislative Committee
The Legislative Committee actively monitors proposed legislation and regulations, at both the state and federal level, and produces an accessible legislation-tracking document for CLA members to stay up to date on privacy-related developments. The Legislative Committee also facilitates drafting and submission of comments/input on legislation and regulations on CLA’s behalf, and partners with the Publications and Education Committees to produce articles and events related to developments in privacy laws and regulations.
Memberships Committee
The Memberships Committee works with the California Lawyers Association and the Privacy Section’s members to support existing members with valuable benefits, including free access to FastCase, and discounts on MCLE programming and other Section offerings. The Committee also leads outreach campaigns to connect with new members, and engages in partnerships with other bar associations and professional organizations.
Governance Committee
The Governance Committee is responsible for creating and maintaining the governance structure of the Privacy Section, including Section’s bylaws, mission statement, rules of order, and policies.
California Young Lawyers Association Committee
The California Young Lawyers Association (CYLA) Committee works with practitioners in the first eight years of their career to provide training, mentorship, publication, and networking opportunities tailored to early-career privacy practitioners.
