Institute for Legal Studies  

Definition

  • The Institute for Legal Studies (ILS) was established at the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1985 under the leadership of David Trubek, who was succeeded first by Marc Galanter and then by Howard Erlanger. In establishing the ILS, the Law School sought to expand and institutionalize its long-standing “law in action” approach, which dates back to the early part of the twentieth century and remains vital to its mission.
