Much of the Law School's activity in this area is carried on by the John M. Olin Center for the Study of Law, Economics and Public Policy. More on Administrative Law and Public Policy....

Corporate Law
The Yale Law School Center for the Study of Corporate Law helps to enhance the intellectual life of the Law School in the business law area. The center's focus of study includes corporate law and the law of other nongovernmental organizations, the regulation of financial markets, and the legal framework of finance. The Law School offers a strong business law curriculum, joint degree and doctoral degree programs with the Graduate School and the Yale School of Management, and a host of lectures and conferences on the important corporate law issues of the day.

Human Rights Law
Since 1989, the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center for International Human Rights has been the centerpiece of the Law School’s human rights efforts. Activities at the School include the Allard K. Lowenstein Human Rights Law Clinic, numerous conferences and special events, fellowships for students and graduates, support for the Yale Human Rights and Development Law Journal, as well as other student projects related to human rights.

Information Technology Law
Students interested in studying the implications of the Internet, telecommunications, and the new information technologies on law and society gravitate to the Information Society Project (ISP) at Yale Law School. The project embraces a variety of activities, including fellowships for young scholars and advice and education for policy makers, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, and the legal community. It also runs a Weblog, Lawmeme, which offers commentary on developing technology issues.

International Law
Opportunities to study international law abound, with Yale Law School Dean Harold Hongju Koh continuing to strengthen the School’s commitment to the globalization of the curriculum. The School’s active and growing China Law Center, its programs in the Middle East and Latin America, and its annual Global Constitutionalism Seminar are just a few of the international educational opportunities that supplement the School’s curricular offerings and lecture programs.

In addition to the clinical opportunities, programs like the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program support the work of Yale Law students and graduates conducting research and offer fellowships in public interest law.
