The program's substantive focus is the law and policy of information, computers, and communications technology. The program is led by members of John Marshall's full-time faculty—nationally and internationally recognized for their expertise in these areas. They are joined by a group of adjunct professors and lecturers who bring to the classroom practical knowledge and experience from their cutting-edge law practices. Visiting faculty from institutions around the world also contribute actively to the educational program.

The core curriculum includes courses on computer law, cyberspace law, information policy, and copyright law. Students also select from a wide variety of elective courses, many of which will change from year to year to keep pace with rapid developments in technology and the law. Independent research projects and clinical practicum experiences are also available.

An LLM in Information Technology and Privacy Law is conferred upon the successful completion of 24 semester hours of credit, including four required courses, with a final cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher. With the approval of the program director, up to 6 credit hours of advanced elective course work in other areas related to information technology law may be counted toward the degree.

LLM applicants must be admitted to the practice of law in the United States or a foreign jurisdiction, or have graduated from an ABA-approved or foreign law school. Additional requirements apply to foreign applicants. Students enrolled in the JD program at The John Marshall Law School may apply for admission to a joint JD/LLM program.
