Meet Sarah Hsu Wilbur, an Institute for Privacy Protection Student Fellow 2017-2018
Sarah currently is a junior associate in the Litigation practice group at Morgan,
Lewis & Bockius LLP. She works on a variety of cases in the areas of complex commercial
litigation, civil litigation, and regulatory enforcement and investigation, some of
which touch on privacy issues. She hopes to do more work in cybersecurity and data
privacy law as those opportunities present themselves. She originally became interested
in cybersecurity and data privacy issues after doing research for Professor Kristin
Johnson regarding the cyber and privacy risks that financial institutions face and
what can be done to prevent and mitigate those risks. She wrote her Comment for the
Seton Hall Law Review on the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, examining the legislative
ambiguities within the Act that resemble legislative ambiguities in the Computer Fraud
and Abuse Act--over which there is a current circuit split of interpretation and which
give rise to privacy issues.
