New York University's Institute for Law and Society is a center for faculty, graduate students and law students studying law and legal institutions from a transdisciplinary perspective.

Scholars at the Institute explore a broad range of law-related issues both domestically and globally. Law and politics, legal anthropology, economic analyses of law, sociology of law, criminology, psychology and law, and legal history are areas of particular focus.

Connecting the School of Law with the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University, the Institute's Law and Society Program offers a Ph.D. degree in Law and Society. Students in the Program may also pursue J.D./Ph.D. and J.D./M.A. joint degrees, and NYU undergraduates can enter the Minor in Law and Society.

The Law and Society Program is designed for students who are pursuing academic careers in the social sciences and/or law; who seek to work in public policy and policy analysis; and who want to do applied research on law-related issues.
