NYU's program did not accept applications this year. I don't know that they will be accepting applications in the future either. The department is going through massive changes right now. AU has Justice Law and Society, UC Irvine has Criminology Law and Society and UF has Criminology Law and Society. The Berkeley program tends to admit people that already have advanced degrees (J.D. and M.A. in other fields), so that works to your advantage. You may also want to check out Philosophy and Sociology departments because there are some that do Phil of Law and Soc. of Law. It really depends on what exactly your interests are as to the value. If you really want to teach or study interdisciplinary law then sure they could be worth your time. If not, then probably not.
