IJPM is a first-of-its-kind academic institute devoted to the interdisciplinary study of issues at the intersection of law, politics, and the media.

The institute sponsors lectures, conferences, and symposia designed to foster discussion and debate between legal scholars, sitting judges, and working journalists. We provide research grants and seed money for scholars pursuing law-oriented projects that cut across traditional academic boundaries. We host a luncheon series for graduate students featuring prominent jurists, journalists, and academic experts, and we blog daily about legal journalism.  We offer a cross-disciplinary graduate certificate program organized around a team-taught course on law, politics, and the media.  We also edit a journal showcasing the latest scholarly research in our areas of interest.

Be sure to sign-up for our electronic mailing list to stay up-to-date with the activities and development of our unique institute.

IJPM is a collaborative effort between Syracuse University's College of Law, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, and S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
What's Happening at IJPM?
IJPM and the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) lauch Law, Politics & the Media eJournal.
The goal of the Law, Politics, & the Media subject journal is to publish abstracts of working papers and articles that promote a more integrated understanding of law, courts, and their environment. To this end, the journal seeks scholarship that addresses any combination of legal, political, and media-related themes in the analysis of legal institutions, beliefs, and practices. The journal is open to work from the social sciences, the humanities, and the legal academy. Papers and articles that focus on the United States, as well as scholarship that is comparative or international in scope, are welcome.
