Columbia Law School is proud to have the first, indeed only, program in Gender and Sexuality Law at any law school in the U.S. Students interested in the study of Gender and Sexuality law will find at Columbia a rich and diverse number of course offerings – including the nation’s first Sexuality and Gender Law Clinic – many faculty whose teaching and scholarship focus in path-breaking ways on an array of problems in the domains of sexuality and gender, and many student organizations and students who share an interest in the study and practice of gender and sexuality law.

Please follow the links to the right to find out more about our faculty, course offerings, student organizations and events.

The Program also hosts a BLOG where members of the Columbia community can debate current topics in Gender and Sexuality Law.
