Institute for International Law & Public Policy (IILPP)
Since its founding in 2002, the Institute for International Law and Public Policy has set the pace for Temple Law’s rise as a global leader in the study of international law. Under current co-directors Peter J. Spiro and Margaret M. deGuzman, and with the energetic support of a strong core of Affiliated Faculty, the Institute sponsors an ambitious menu of activities. The Institute has been a core element of the rich international programs at Temple Law.
Center for Public Health Law Research
Based at the Temple University Beasley School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research supports the widespread adoption of scientific tools and methods for mapping and evaluating the impact of law on health.
It works by developing and teaching public health law research and legal epidemiology methods (including legal mapping and policy surveillance); researching laws and policies that improve health, increase access to care, and create or remove barriers to health (e.g., laws or policies that create or remove inequity); and communicating and disseminating evidence to facilitate innovation. The Center celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2019.
Center for Compliance and Ethics
The Center for Compliance and Ethics aims to improve the understanding and practice of compliance across disciplines and industries through educational programming, public-private dialogue, and research. The Center implements its mission by:
- Developing and teaching innovative curricula and educational programs for students and professionals in various fields that are interested in a career in compliance, domestically and internationally;
- Developing and promoting interdisciplinary academic research and thought leadership to define the goals and challenges of compliance as a discipline;
- Facilitating dialogues between the private and public sector including regulators, policy-makers and compliance professionals designed to advance effective, proactive and sustainable approaches to compliance challenges.
The Institute for Law, Innovation & Technology (iLIT)
iLIT is committed to equity and innovation. As a collaborative hub, our mission drives us to ensure that the field of digital technology bridges existing divides, remedies the systemic under-representation of minorities and other marginalized peoples, and innovates in ways that clearly advance the broad, global, public interest.
We do this by designing and offering innovative educational opportunities that invite our students to think and act critically about the intersection between technology and society. We empower our students to build careers in technology that will shape a more just and equitable future.
Many of those career paths are currently fraught with disparate challenges that can only be dismantled through systemic initiatives and commitment to change. Other emerging career opportunities are only now taking shape because of the rapid pace of technological innovation. We seize upon these challenges and opportunities through strategic initiatives and direct, practical programs that place our students at the forefront of change.
Center for Tax Law and Public Policy
The Center for Tax Law and Public Policy at Temple University Beasley School of Law serves as a hub for all tax-related activities at Temple Law, and provides easy access to the vast array of opportunities that exist for current Temple Law students, prospective students, and alumni seeking to expand their knowledge of tax policy.
