The Center for Justice and Law works to advance justice by developing creative, concrete, and equitable solutions to legal issues and policy concerns.
The Center accomplishes its work by drawing on interdisciplinary synergies at Hamline to engage in:
Active collaboration with community partners in finding solutions to contemporary problems and critical issues. Our current partners include the Minnesota Innocence Project, Minnesota Justice Foundation, Inside-Out Prison Exchange, World Without Genocide, and the Mediation Center.
Innovative teaching and professional development that draws on a broad array of disciplines to provide high-impact educational experiences and to connect students with community partners and pre-professional opportunities that include, for example, Inside-Out Prison Exchange, Hamline J-term and May-term courses, CLE, CEU and training.
Transformative research and support of collaborative projects, including community-based, student, applied research, and high impact research.
Public symposia that bring together national and local scholars and advocates.
