About the Center for Justice and Law 

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 connects students with community partners and pre-professional opportunities, including the 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.

These synergies are rooted in collaborative Hamline academic programs that include:

• Conflict studies 
• Criminal justice and forensic science
• Education
• Legal studies
• Nonprofit management
• Philosophy
• Political science
• Public administration
• Public health sciences
• Social justice
