The Ludwig Program for Public Service Leadership

The Ludwig Program for Public Service Leadership was founded by Gene Ludwig ’73. Read more about The Tsai Leadership Program at Yale Law School Founders.

Part of The Tsai Leadership Program at Yale Law School, the Carol and Gene Ludwig Program for Public Service Leadership will provide focused professional and ethical training to students who wish to work in the public sector, including government, nonprofits, and other institutions focused on serving the public.

The aim of the Ludwig Program is to ensure that Yale Law students are capable of translating principle into practice; display a firm grasp of the political, economic, civic, and operational dimensions of policy work; and are well equipped to engage in ethical reflection and decision-making. The Public Service Program is premised on the notion that those who serve in the public sector should be flexible, broad-gauged thinkers who make empirically grounded decisions and are deeply committed to a vibrant democracy and the well-being of others.

About the Program

The core aim of the Public Service Program is to help students interested in working in the public sector attain the skills they need to address the challenges of the future.

Ludwig Fellows will be able to take advantage of the foundational coursework and training provided through the Tsai Leadership Program and the Law School generally, including courses in economic and statistics, philosophy and ethics, policymaking and the regulatory state, and professional skills training. The Program will build upon the Law School’s curricular offerings with events and programs focused on public sector work and leadership, a robust mentoring program, and interaction with the Law School’s network of alumni who can help guide students on their future paths. In addition, all Ludwig Fellows will take part in the Ludwig Citizenship and Equality Lecture Series, which will bring speakers to campus to address the ethics of citizenship and public service.
