Center for Law and the Economy
The Center for Law and the Economy promotes interdisciplinary research and collaboration on critical issues confronting policymakers and private markets in both developed and developing economies. Founded in 2019, the Center builds on years of joint programming between scholars in The Murphy Institute's Center for Public Policy Research (CPPR) and Tulane Law School. It is a rich resource for graduate, professional, and undergraduate students at Tulane who are interested in issues related to the regulation of economic and financial activity.
CLE's foundational Workshop Series serves as an academic forum where invited scholars from across the country present works-in-progress to Tulane faculty and students. While the workshop series provides an essential space for academic engagement, the annual CLE Public Colloquium scales these crucial conversations up for the entire university community and general public.
Visiting Assistant Professorship
The Center funds a Visiting Assistant Professorship in Law, a two-year position offering exceptional early career legal scholars the opportunity to research in a dynamic, collegial, and collaborative environment.
CLE Workshop
The Center's workshop series each semester features both Tulane and guest faculty in law, economics, and political science who present leading edge research in regulation, civil rights, and other key issues in law and the economy.
