Harvard Law students learn many different ideas about jurisprudence and engage with diverse theoretical perspectives on the law, informed by different disciplines. In addition to offerings in Law and Economics, Law and Philosophy, and Law and Political Economy, and Legal History, students have opportunities to engage with legal realism, critical legal studies, and much more.
