Research Centers & Initiatives

GW Law’s intellectual community is enriched by the work of a number of research centers and exchange initiatives, and the contributions of distinguished visiting scholars from abroad. These initiatives provide opportunities for student involvement, while they make significant contributions to the development of law and policy both in the U.S. and abroad.

Through the work of these centers and initiatives, GW Law students, faculty, and alumni collaborate with leaders in legal, academic, business, political, and innovation communities in the United States and around the world.
