Program Description

The Stanford Program in International Legal Studies (SPILS) is a unique and rigorous program offering a select group of graduate students from outside the US the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary research that applies empirically based methods, adapted from the social sciences, economics and other disciplines, to analyze legal issues. Each of the graduate students accepted to the SPILS program must develop and execute a research study on a socio-legal topic of his or her choice, and report the results in a written 6-credit thesis.
