Episode 10 — Sources of Law: Constitutions, Statutes, Case Law, and Contracts

Understanding sources of law is critical to mastering the CIPP/US. In this episode, we unpack the U.S. Constitution’s role in privacy, including federal preemption, the Bill of Rights, and state constitutional guarantees. We then cover how statutes like HIPAA, GLBA, and CCPA provide legislative frameworks, while case law refines their application through judicial interpretation. Contracts are also explored as private law instruments that fill gaps in statutory or regulatory regimes.

By the end, you’ll see how these sources collectively create a patchwork that is both flexible and fragmented. Recognizing the interplay between constitutions, statutes, case law, and contracts prepares you for questions that test not just definitions but also application in real-world privacy scenarios.
