The Center for Legal Pedagogy

The Center for Legal Pedagogy was formally established in the fall of 1999, at a time when such centers of pedagogical legal research were rare. Charged with the study of legal education, more than 20 years later, the Center for Legal Pedagogy serves as an instructional hub for both faculty and students at Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
