Undergraduate Program
Learn more about our coursework and the Legal Studies major and minor:
Legal Studies offers programming for graduate students whose interests include the study of law, legal institutions, and/or legal processes broadly construed. We encourage participation from graduate students in all social science and humanities disciplines. Join our current Graduate Fellows in Legal Studies (GFILS) by applying here.
In addition to our Core Faculty the Center for Legal Studies is composed of a strong list of Faculty Affiliates - members of the academic community whose teaching and research contribute to Legal Studies at Northwestern.
Fall courses start September 16, 2020. Legal Studies courses will be held remotely, but other departments will offer hybrid courses with a mix of remote and in-person teaching. Check Caesar for course details! A list of fall courses and descriptions will be available starting July 20th via the Registrar's Class Descriptions website.
Registration for returning students will be in August. First year students start registration on September 11.
