Journals

The Law School is one of few law schools that have student-edited, faculty-edited, and student- and faculty-edited scholarly journals, each of which has gained national prominence. Students can satisfy legal writing requirements and gain valuable legal writing experience by participating on a journal.

Research Institutes

Law School students have unique opportunities to explore worthwhile scholastic and community issues and to address challenges with real-world legal application. The research institutes, founded by faculty, make important contributions to legal scholarship and public policy research on a broad array of topics, from the environment to race and poverty. The Program in Law and History, established in 2007, connects students with scholars around the world to explore law in a historical context, fostering research and teaching across all periods of legal history.
