Directed by William Henderson, the center will promote research and scholarship on the globalization of the profession. Henderson, a professor at the Bloomington campus and a legal profession scholar, will work with fellow law professors and the university’s sociology department. The center will coordinate projects with the American Bar Foundation, which brings together scholars from Stanford Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, Northwestern University School of Law and other top schools.
“This is the first time we will have legal academics step back and look at the global legal industry as a whole and acknowledge patterns that have evolved over the last few decades,” Henderson said in a press release.
