Mission of the Institute

Gonzaga University School of Law and Washburn University School of Law recognize the obligations law schools owe to their students and to society to provide a learning environment that helps students achieve the highest academic standards and prepares students to assume their responsibilities as effective, moral attorneys.

The Institute is committed to improving the quality of teaching and learning in legal education.

The Institute’s goals are to:

• serve as a clearinghouse for ideas to improve the quality of education in law school;
• support student-centered curriculum reform;
• provide national leadership on effective teaching and learning in law school;
• support research and the development of materials to enhance teaching and learning in law school;
• establish and maintain a national reputation for quality programs, responsiveness to law teachers’ needs, and innovation in law teaching.
