Stanford Program in Law and Society

The Stanford Program in Law and Society explores how law, social behavior, and cultural values influence each other. It examines issues like justice, equality, and human rights through interdisciplinary research, combining insights from law, sociology, and history. The program offers students a chance to understand the impact of legal systems on society and promotes critical thinking about legal processes and policy-making. Its goal is to foster a deeper understanding of how laws shape social change and vice versa, preparing students for careers in law, public policy, or academia.
