MISSION
The Institute on Education Law and Policy is New Jersey's premier center
for interdisciplinary research and innovative thinking on education
policy. Founded in 2000 by Professor Paul Tractenberg of Rutgers Law
School-Newark as the capstone to his career in education reform, the
Institute's mission is four-fold:
• to promote education reform and
improvement through research, policy analysis and public discussion
• to mobilize lawyers, scholars and education practitioners to address
complex and controversial issues in education law and policy in a
comprehensive, in-depth manner
• to improve public understanding of these issues
• to provide a center for learning and innovative thinking about legal
and public policy issues relating to education
Issues affecting New Jersey's urban students and educators are the
Institute's primary focus, but those issues are addressed in the context
of the state's wide diversity and with an eye toward their ramifications
for the nation as a whole. The Institute's work includes:
• applied
collaborative research by legal scholars and social scientists
• reports and other publications
• invitational meetings and conferences
• analysis of education law and policy issues for the benefit of policy
makers and the public.
