About this programme

Law and Society scholars ask questions such as: What are the links between law and society? How are social manners enforced? What happens when legal innovations fail? Law and Society is the study of how legal and social systems are interconnected, how people live, and how law is woven into communities. This program will give you an understanding of what happens when legal innovations and institutions succeed, and what the outcomes are when they fail.
