Program in Law and Philosophy

The College's Program in Law and Philosophy is co-directed by David C. Baum Professor Heidi M. Hurd, Charles R. Walgreen Chair Michael S. Moore, and John E. Cribbet Professor and Associate Dean for Faculty and Research Lawrence B. Solum, all internationally known scholars on topics at the intersections of law and philosophy. Professor of Law and Philosophy and the Thomas Mengler Faculty Scholar Robin B. Kar is an affiliate of the Program. 

The primary mission of the Law and Philosophy Program is to advance knowledge on legal topics on philosophical significance, particularly those legal topics that implicate moral and political issues.

The Law and Philosophy Program seeks to educate both faculty members and students on the philosophical implications of various legal topics, introduce them to some of the literature and arguments on those topics, and expose them to major international scholars who work on the topics.
