Through a multidisciplinary approach to teaching, research, and policy, the Rhode Center works to make civil justice more equitable, accessible, and transparent and to promote the legal profession’s commitment to the public interest.

The Rhode Center’s current work focuses on:

• reforming legal services regulation to increase innovation and access to justice;
• understanding and shaping the role of technology in law and lawyering;
• protecting consumers and clients in civil litigation; and
• building a stronger, more diverse profession..
