About this organization
Mission
To expand knowledge and advance justice through innovative, interdisciplinary, and rigorous empirical research on the law.
About
The research program research work in progress is currently comprised of 35 projects in three broad categories of inquiry: i) learning and practicing law, ii) protecting rights, accessing justice, and iii) making and implementing law. A number of foundation research faculty are recipients of national and international awards for their professional contributions. The foundation's research and its dissemination is designed to further the foundation's overall objective of scholarly preeminence in the study of law, legal institutions, and the legal profession. To this end, research projects are subject to review by an internal research committee, an external group of distinguished and independent scholars, and a research committee of the board of directors and are then voted on by the full board of directors. Standards for review include the significance of the study and the comportment of its design with the standards of integrity and scholarship.
