Mission

THIS INSTITUTE, UNLIKE MANY INSTITUTIONS CONCERNED WITH LAW AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, WILL NOT DEVOTE ITSELF TO ADVOCACY OR LOBBYING, TO LITIGATION, OR TO HOLDING LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC EVENTS. RATHER, IT WILL FOCUS ON COLLABORATION WITH ESTABLISHED ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS AND PUBLIC POLICY SCHOOLS, THINK-TANKS, POLICY MAKERS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN GOVERNMENT, AND GOVERNMENT ENTITIES TO UNDERTAKE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN ITS FIELD OF STUDY: THE INTERSECTION OF LAW AND STRATEGY. IN ALL INSTANCES, THE INSTITUTE WILL EMPHASIZE THE GENERATION AND CULTIVATION OF TOP-FLIGHT THINKING ON AMERICAN LAW AND NATIONAL SECURITY AS THESE SUBJECTS INTERSECT. THE INSTITUTE WILL UNDERTAKE ITS WORK THROUGH THE PARTICIPATION OF THOSE WHO MOST NEED TO SEE IT IN GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIA, AND THE MEDIA, SO THAT IT CAN INFORM AND ENRICH THEIR WORK IN GOVERNMENT AND POLICY. THE INSTITUTE PLANS TO ALSO MAKE ITS WORK AVAILABLE TO INTERESTED MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THROUGH PUBLICATIONS.
