The Law and Justice program focuses on the relationships between law, politics, and society in the U.S. and abroad. Bound up in the study of law, politics, and society are fundamental issues of justice - basic rights, liberties, and struggle for political and social equality - that the program emphasizes. Drawing on multiple disciplines, Law and Justice offers students an opportunity to gain expertise related to law and law-related careers across multiple disciplines. Students develop expertise in the topic of law and courts and acquire skills in analytics and logic; writing, composition, and communication; and the ability to conduct original research. They may also gain practical experience through the program’s internship component. The program’s training prepares students to contribute to the most pressing societal issues in law and justice.
