The founding of the Therapeutic Jurisprudence Program at William & Mary Law School is another example of the institution's commitment to establishing new and creative programs that combine teaching and research, with significant contributions to the public good. The program provides an opportunity for law students, lawyers and judges to examine the theoretical and practical ideas associated with an important emerging body of law. The TJ program lets our students experience lawyering with a true ethic of care. We believe that by placing emphasis on "humanizing the law" our students will be better prepared to be capable advocates, patient counselors, and outstanding leaders. It is our objective to provide academic, interdisciplinary training, and technical assistance through the therapeutic jurisprudence lens to assist people in understanding the law and the justice system as part of a helping profession.

Students transferring from a law school that is approved by the American Bar Association or is a member of the American Association of Law Schools are welcome to apply to William & Mary Law as a transfer student.
