Welcome to the
Public Law Research Institute |
| U.C. Hastings College of the Law
- San Francisco, California |
| Professor David J. Jung, Director |

Founded by Professor Julian Levi at Hastings
College of the Law in 1983, the Public Law Research Institute analyzes legal issues that
currently confront California's state and local governments, at the request of various
state and local governmental offices, including the California Senate Office of Research
and the Research Bureau of the California State Library. The range of topics varies from
year to year, and is as broad as the spectrum of issues state and local governments
confront. Past topics have included legislative responses to the AIDS crisis, corporate
governance, election reform, welfare reform, economic development, crime control, health
care reform, and more.
