Graduate students in law at the master's level can choose the LL.M. with Concentration in Law and Social Justice. It emphasizes analysis and critique of the role of law in the development and maintenance of social, political and economic inequality, and the investigation of the potential of law to be an instrument for social change. Graduate students in law at the doctoral level whose research is in the area of social justice can work under the supervision of one of our faculty members in pursuit of the Ph.D. in Law.

The Social Justice Option is designed to prepare JD students currently registered at the Faculty of Law for a future career in public interest organizations or humanitarian work. However, it will also appeal to students with a general interest in social justice issues. It is also intended to provide access for researchers and the public to ongoing faculty research in the area of social justice. Through the navigation bar on the left, you have access to information and resources about:

• courses on social justice for law students;
• how to qualify for the social justice concentration;
• ongoing faculty research on social justice issues;
• opportunities for legal aid clinic work;
• information about internships with partnering organizations;
• moot court competitions in the area of social justice;
• and more . . .

We hope that you enjoy browsing the social justice option webpage.
