Join us in celebrating 50 years of Law-Psychology at UNL!

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has a 125-year tradition of firsts in psychology and the Law-Psychology Program is one of those firsts. Since its founding in 1974, the Law-Psychology program has led the way by providing a unique and interdisciplinary training in psychology and law. In 2024, we will kick off a 2-day event celebrating the program and its history over the last 50 years!
