Sweet Briar offers students a curriculum that studies the influence of participants in the judicial process (courts, judges, lawyers, and clients), as well as the impact of cultural norms, economic relationships, art, popular culture, media, and social institutions, on how law is articulated in society. Through the Law & Society Program we promote and coordinate internships for students in the broader fields of law, politics, and public service. In recent years we have had students interning along a spectrum from the Supreme Court of the United States, to the office of the Amherst County Commonwealth's Attorney. We have also promoted a number of special programs for the campus and local communities.
