Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession

The Center on the Legal Profession (CLP) seeks to make a substantial contribution to the modern practice of law by increasing understanding of the structures, norms and dynamics of the global legal profession. To this end, we conduct, sponsor and publish world-class empirical research on the profession; innovate and implement new methods and content for teaching law students, practicing lawyers and related professionals about the profession; and foster broader and deeper connections bridging between the global universe of legal practitioners and the academy.
