MS REBECCA SANDEFUR

Rebecca L. Sandefur is Assistant Professor of Sociology and (by courtesy) Law at Stanford University, where she also directs the co-terminal master’s program in sociology. Her scholarly work lies at the intersection of the study of law and the study of inequality. Current research projects include a study of the impact of civil justice problems and civil justice institutions on socioeconomic inequality and a study of the sources of public interest lawyering, exploring the contributions of legal education, social background, educational debt, and legal labor market conditions. She has written on lawyers’ work and the legal profession, the impact of representation, legal aid, and public experience with civil justice problems. She serves on the Right to Counsel Committee of the California Access to Justice Commission and the Research Advisory Board of the Civil Right to Counsel Leadership and Support Initiative.
