CRIMINAL LAW RESEARCH GROUP

Welcome to the CLRG Website

The Criminal Law Research Group (CLRG) does criminal-justice related drafting and policy work for governments, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations. The expertise and experience of its Director, Paul H. Robinson, the Colin S. Diver Distinguished Professor of Law, and the talent and energy of the exceptional students who are selected to membership in the Group, allow the CLRG to produce authoritative and functional solutions to criminal-justice related policy problems world-wide. While its special expertise is on drafting modern criminal codes and sentencing guidelines appropriate for a country or state, it also has done work in producing rules of criminal procedure and prosecution guidelines, as well as policy advice on a wide-variety of criminal justice issues.

Recent CLRG projects include work for:

  1. The Republic of the Maldives, in conjunction with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) [more information] [authorized users]
  2. The State of Kansas [more information] [authorized users]
  3. The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency [more information] [authorized users]
