Millions of people in the United States and billions more abroad adhere to faith traditions with legal systems that provide guidance on every aspect of human relations, from criminal justice to the makeup of the family. Through Harvard Law School’s courses, Religious Freedom Clinic, and various programs focused on Jewish and Israeli Law, Biblical Law and Christian Legal Studies, Islamic Law, and Law and Society in the Muslim World, students can explore a range of topics at the intersection of law and religion.
