Cross-Disciplinary Institutes:
Endowment $4 Million
Who can see over, through, around and above the multiple
parts of today's global and societal issues? Lawyers are uniquely called
on to be at the heart of that decision-making network. At Penn Law,
we have developed our curriculum to educate people in the role of
integrator - and now will push forward that movement with new
cross-disciplinary institutes.
Cross-disciplinary institutes stir new thinking and produce effective,
problem-solving leaders for a highly integrated world.
We know how well such institutes can work from the success of
our Institute for Law and Economics (ILE), which brings together
scholars, students, attorneys, judges, government officials, and leaders
in the private sector. This is a jewel among corporate law and
corporate government think tanks.
Through BOLD AMBITIONS, we look to establish new crossdisciplinary
institutes for Law and Health Sciences, Law and the
Constitution, and Law and the Global Community. Each will access
Penn's full complement of faculty experts, distinguished alumni and
scholars, and experts from around the world.
