for support of the Levin Center at Wayne Law School
The Levin Center at Wayne Law strives to inspire and train current and future legislators and their staffs at all levels of government, particularly Congress, to carry out their constitutional and institutional responsibility to engage in bipartisan, fact-based oversight of both the public and private sector. The center also seeks to increase integrity, transparency, and accountability in civil society. It conducts training workshops, develops and promotes training videos, provides legislative internships and academic programming for law students in legislative process and oversight, and sponsors research in the field. The center works to equip future leaders on the federal, state, and local levels with the oversight skills needed to produce meaningful, bipartisan public policy outcomes and to conduct themselves in an open, honest, and civil manner.
for support of the Levin Center at Wayne Law School
The new Levin Center seeks to inspire and train a new generation to use bipartisan oversight as an instrument of change, and to increase integrity, transparency, and accountability in civil society. Launched in 2015 at Wayne State University Law School, in honor of Senator Carl Levin, the center will educate legislators, their staffs, law students, and attorneys on effective techniques to conduct bipartisan, in-depth, fact-based oversight of public and private sector activities. Through training workshops and videos, internships, academic programming, and research, the center will teach future federal, state, local, and international leaders the oversight skills needed to produce meaningful bipartisan public policy.
