GATHERING A LEGAL STUDIES COMMUNITY. . .
AT BROWN.
Brown Legal Studies is the umbrella organization for a number of projects at Brown University related to law-related scholarship and initiatives. This website divides the projects into three categories: The Brown Legal History Workshop, the oldest of these initiatives and the centerpiece of Brown Legal Studies; initiatives by and for Brown Graduate Students; and initiatives by and for Brown Undergraduate Students.
Although Brown does not house a law school, many Brown faculty and students work on law and law-related topics. The goal of Brown Legal Studies is to bring together members of the Brown community from across the disciplines—history, anthropology, political science, sociology, economics, literature, art and music, religious studies, geography, and more—whose work in one way or another touches on law, broadly understood. Our aim is to build a dynamic, inclusive, and interdisciplinary legal studies community at Brown.
