Founded in February 2017, the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law at NYU School of Law confronts and upends the array of American laws, policies, and practices that lead to racial oppression and injustice. By illuminating the history and impact of racism on law and society, the Center seeks solutions to the injustice it causes and takes action to advance freedom and fairness for everyone. The Center focuses on areas such as Race and Tech, Race and Punishment, Race and Place, and Race and Culture, engaging in research, public education, advocacy, and litigation to advance its mission.
