Women, Gender & Law at the Graduate Level: More Information
As noted, several law schools in the United States now offer joint degree programs that allow students to obtain a law degree in conjunction with a graduate degree in women and gender studies. Other laws schools have feminist legal journals or legal clinics that provide hands-on experience working on a range of issues relating to women and gender studies, including employment discrimination, family law, reproductive rights, violence against women, GLBT rights, and immigrant women’s rights. There are also many feminist legal advocacy clinics where students can gain valuable experience while at law school or during summers.
Below are three more useful lists: 1) law schools with feminist law journals (see the Women's Law Journal website as well); 2) law schools with feminist legal clinics; 3) feminist legal advocacy organizations. Note that these lists may not be exhaustive.
