The Harvard Law School, in conjunction with other Harvard schools and faculties,offer programs of instruction leading to specialization in Islamic law and in the laws of the Muslim world.

Programs are to be tailored to individual interests, and may employ a number of different methodologies, including law, comparative law, legal theory, Islamic Studies, history, comparative religion, economics, political science, sociology and anthropology.
