Within the field of Government Procurement Law there is increasing demand for cybersecurity legal expertise among government procurement practitioners. Both government procurement and cybersecurity have been identified by the U.S. Government as “mission critical occupations” in which the United States suffers from “critical skills gaps.” In response to the growing demand for educated professionals in this area of the law, GW Law is excited to launch its new JD Concentration in Government Procurement & Cybersecurity Law.
When students elect to concentrate in government procurement and cybersecurity law, they signal to prospective employers that they have obtained expertise and knowledge in this specialized field. To achieve this recognition, a student must demonstrate a significant commitment to the study of government procurement and cybersecurity law through their coursework, scholarship and experiential activities. The JD Concentration sets students apart in an increasingly competitive job market and increases the opportunities available upon graduation.

Students can apply for the JD Concentration by completing both of the following documents: (1) the Application for J.D. Concentration in Government Procurement, and (2) concentration declaration form on the law school’s Records Office webpage.
