Founded in 2012, the Urban Law Center at Fordham Law School seeks to investigate and improve the role of the law and legal systems in contemporary urbanism. It promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of the legal, governance, and regulatory aspects of urban environments by advancing collaborative research and scholarship, organizing local and global convenings, and supporting knowledge sharing, career pathways and pedagogy in the world of urban law. In particular, the Center’s efforts focus on forces that shape urban inequality and urban innovation, targeting the most pressing issues facing our nation’s cities and their metropolitan regions.
This spring sees state and local law in focus at law schools around the country. We were happy to see offerings at University of Wisconsin Law's State Democracy Research Initiative, the Brennan Center/NYU Law School, and coming next month, Yale Law School. Props to all the organizers!
