The international reputation of the law school’s faculty, their breadth of interests and approaches, and the intensive intellectual atmosphere, creates outstanding opportunities for graduate students pursuing advanced degrees.
Law faculty members are some of the finest doctrinal and theoretical legal scholars in public and private law. The diversity of research interests amongst the faculty allows them to supervise graduate research in almost all areas of legal scholarship. The pluralistic academic community invites a variety of approaches to legal scholarship including, but not limited to, feminism and the law, law and economics, legal history, law and society, analytical jurisprudence, and critical legal theory. Over a third of the faculty are cross-appointed to other units — a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship which encourages students to position their legal research within a broader, interdisciplinary context.
