LGN Associate Emma Ritter Gordon Published in George Washington University Journal of Law & Technology
Lockridge Grindal Nauen (LGN) is pleased to share that associate Emma Ritter Gordon has been published in the George Washington Journal of Law and Technology (GW JOLT). Her article appears in the journal’s second volume and was co-authored with Kristin Oakley.
The article, TransUnion’s Effect on Standing in Data Privacy Cases: An Empirical Study of Federal Appellate Cases, 2021-2024, examines how federal appellate courts have applied Article III standing requirements in data privacy cases following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in TransUnion v. Ramirez, 594 U.S. 413 (2021). Using a hand-coded approach, the article provides an empirical analysis of how federal courts of appeals have interpreted the “concrete harm” requirement in data privacy litigation following this seminal case.
The George Washington University Law School–based Journal of Law and Technology publishes scholarship addressing legal issues involving emerging technologies, privacy, and data security. Gordon and Oakley’s article examines how courts have applied standing requirements in cases involving alleged data-privacy harms between 2021 and 2024.
“I’m pleased with how the article turned out,” Gordon said. “Our goal was to provide academics and practitioners an on-the-ground analysis of how courts have applied TransUnion in data privacy cases. In the process, we uncovered an emerging circuit split.”
