哥伦比亚大学法律与哲学中心的使命是为高层次的学术合作提供基础，首先是哥伦比亚大学在道德哲学、政治理论和法理学重叠领域的非凡教师群体，其次是为纽约地区和美国的学者提供这一重叠领域的领导。

中心于1997年在哥伦比亚大学法学院成立，资金来自教务长的战略计划（SI）。从那时起，该中心组织和赞助了各种活动，汇集了哥伦比亚大学在道德，政治和法律哲学，公开讲座，专家研讨会，定期座谈会和学术会议方面的许多令人印象深刻的教师资源。

哥伦比亚大学法律与哲学中心从杰出的研究型大学和纽约市的全球舞台的大量跨学科资源中汲取力量，对学生进行法律培训，准备参与跨越国界、司法管辖区、主题、部门和行业的挑战性的问题。

The mission of the Columbia Center for Law and Philosophy is to provide the foundation for high-level academic collaboration, first with Columbia's extraordinary faculty community in the overlapping areas of moral philosophy, political theory, and jurisology, and second to provide leadership in this overlapping area for scholars in the New York region and the United States.

The Center was established in 1997 at Columbia Law School with funding from the Provost's Strategic Initiative (SI). Since then, the Center has organized and sponsored events that bring together Columbia's many impressive faculty resources in moral, political, and legal philosophy, public lectures, expert seminars, regular symposiums, and academic conferences.

Drawing strength from the vast interdisciplinary resources of prominent research universities and New York City's global arena, the Columbia Center for Law and Philosophy prepares students for legal engagement on challenging issues that transcend borders, jurisdictions, topics, sectors, and industries.
