Resources for our Graduate Students
The Legal Studies Program strives to connect not only with our undergraduate community but also with graduate students by providing learning and growth opportunities. From reading journals in the field of law and society to participating in graduate student workshops, this page is focused on providing graduate students with resources that will support the growth of rising scholars.
