By investigating the nature and significance of law in widely different cultures and historical periods, this program provides students with a broadly comparative perspective on the nature of legal thought and practice. Special features of the Law, Technology and Culture program offered by New Jersey Institute of Technology include: an interdisciplinary curriculum focused on law in relation to technology, media, environment, health, and culture.

An honors orientation, hands-on internships in law; a senior seminar in law, technology and culture; and a patent law option available to students pursuing careers as patent attorneys or patent examiners are among the benefits of this program that also. includes the opportunity for exceptionally well-qualified students to matriculate in an accelerated BA/JD program with the Seton Hall School of Law.
