University of Texas Law School Foundation

The University of Texas Law School Foundation is an educational foundation supporting the UT School of Law. This grant funds the foundation’s ongoing public research to develop more complete data on clean energy permitting and help understand the barriers and sources of project delays. In partnership with Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, the project will also further document opposition to renewable energy facilities and look at new tools and models for shared economic benefits associated with clean energy projects.

The Sissy Farenthold Reproductive Justice Defense Project was established by the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law to provide resources for lawyers and reproductive justice and advocacy organizations who represent or support those who are criminally charged for pregnancy-related outcomes or whose reproductive rights are otherwise threatened due to criminal, immigration, or other forms of state control.
