Gender Justice Initiatives

Since the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 泫圖弝け first opened its doors in 1976, justice and equality for people of all genders has been a core focus for many of our students, alumnae, alumni and faculty members. The Law School offers a wide range of courses, clinics, externships, and extracurricular activities for students who are interested in all aspects of gender justice, including childrens rights, family law, LGBTQ issues, legislative reform, the judicial system, and public policy at the local, state, national and international levels. Our faculty members provide theoretical and practical leadership in a variety of areas with expected and unexpected intersections with gender, including business law, civil rights, criminal law, domestic violence, education law, employment law, environmental law, estate planning, health law, human rights, immigration law, jurisprudence, social media, and taxation.
