Overview

Key facts

Educational policymakers, administrators, and practitioners increasingly turn to lawyers as they negotiate an ever-more complex policy environment, in which state and federal agencies are involved in local decision making in unprecedented ways. In turn, lawyers must understand how schools function as complex organizations and must master the basic tools policy analysts use when tackling social problems.

Stanford University Joint MA/JD in Law and Education program prepares leaders and scholars to address these challenges. JD/MA students begin their course of study in the School of Law. A number of courses taken in either the Law School or the Graduate School of Education may count towards the JD and the MA.
