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 will soon launch a cross-disciplinary graduate certificate program organized around a team-taught course on law, politics, and the media.

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.
