Law Centers

Frances Lewis Law Center

Since 1978, the Frances Lewis Law Center has continually enriched the intellectual life of the Washington and Lee law school and university community. Established with a generous gift from Frances and Sydney Lewis, the Law Center's initial mandate was to support serious research that advanced law reform.

Center for Law and History

The mission of the W&L Center for Law and History (CLH) is to encourage and support the interdisciplinary study of law in its historical context. It aims to achieve that mission by bringing together scholars from W&L and throughout the world to promote research and teaching in all areas and periods of legal history.

Transnational Law Institute

The central goal of the Institute is to support and coordinate a variety of pedagogical methods that will contribute to the quality of the legal education the School of Law offers its students.
