Beyond the Courtroom: How Law and Peace Work Together to Create Justice

Justice isn’t only found in courtrooms. At the Kroc School, we see law and peace as powerful partners. Legal systems uphold rights—but peacebuilding addresses the root causes of conflict. Together, they deliver deeper, more lasting justice.

Whether working with refugees, mediating disputes, or shaping international policy, Kroc students learn how to apply legal tools and peace strategies to build more just and resilient communities.

If you’re driven to solve tough global challenges, the intersection of law and peace is where your impact begins.
