The Yeshiva University Center for Jewish Law and Contemporary Civilization at Cardozo Law School brings together scholars of varied legal traditions and fields, creating a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary dialogue that contributes a distinctively Jewish legal perspective on issues in law and culture. CJL sponsors a wide range of academic activities, including an innovative curriculum in Jewish law and legal theory, workshops, colloquia, and conferences, as well as programs designed to support students and emerging scholars.

CJL gratefully acknowledges Mr. Ron I. Shoshany for his generous support of the Center
