Rogers Program in Law & SocietyThis program focuses on social issues and public policy at points where law and other social and behavioral disciplines intersect. It introduces law students to the ways in which lawyers must use those disciplines in grappling with issues of law and policy. The Rogers College of Law is joined by four departments of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology in offering a variety of enriched learning experiences. Graduate students and faculty members of other departments are invited to participate in Rogers Program activities.

The Program offers four cross-listed courses each year taught by scholars from the participating departments. These classes may be taken for law school credit, subject to limitations as to number. Courses offered so far or currently have included Environmental Ethics and the Law (Philosophy); Forensic Assessment (Psychology); and American Indians, Anthropology and the Law (Anthropology). The Program also sponsors a yearly series of colloquia by faculty members and graduate students of the four departments and the College of Law, featuring works in progress or informal lectures on current issues of public policy by scholars in a variety of disciplines. At intervals, the Program will also host national conferences, such as those on Guns, Crime and Violence (2001) and Youth, Voice and Power (2003).
