How is the intellectual community built in the JSP program?

JSP students meet up at several social and professional events. Student-led events include those organized through the JSP Law and Society Graduate Students Association (LSGSA), such as the Friday Forum where they present research to each other. There is also the Gateway Conference for first-year students, where students get to present their research and they get feedback from more advanced JSP students and faculty. JSP also offers funding for students to go to conferences to connect with a greater network of academics. Furthermore, there is a network of about 150 alumni from the JSP program which can be found all over the world.
