Overview:

The Law and Philosophy Program is a unique collaboration between the UCLA School of Law and the UCLA Philosophy Department. The program has several components: JD students at the UCLA School of Law may choose a concentration in Law and Philosophy. Graduate students in the UCLA Philosophy Department may choose to specialize in Law and Philosophy. Two Postdoctoral Fellowships are offered on a regular basis. A joint J.D./Ph.D. degree is offered. The Legal Theory Workshop series, which is offered regularly throughout the year, brings prominent speakers from other universities. Students are encouraged to attend. The Herbert Morris Lecture in Law and Philosophy, in honor of UCLA's Professor Herbert Morris, an eminent emeritus member of both the law school and the philosophy department, is held every other year.
