The JSP program has courses and training in both methodology and substantive fields. These include introductory doctorate level statistics classes and more advanced statistics courses that cover causal inference in the field of law and legal institutions specifically. Furthermore, those students that are particularly interested in quantitative methods for their chosen disciplines, can take methods classes from those departments. We also offer an introductory-level research design course, which teaches students how to come up with research questions and then decide on methodology.
