Brennan Center for Justice

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve and revitalize our nation’s systems of democracy and justice. To solve the country’s problems, these systems must represent the interests of all people. Today, American institutions are being severely tested. The Brennan Center is deeply engaged in fighting against abuse, protecting the rule of law, and generating innovative solutions that strengthen our democracy and restore constitutional protections.

It will also undertake an internal planning effort to determine how these issues will influence its own priorities in the years ahead.
