About

In September 2007, the National Legal Center for the Public Interest (NLC) merged into the American Enterprise Institute to become the AEI Legal Center for the Public Interest (AEILC). The NLC was founded in 1975 to foster knowledge about law and the administration of justice, especially with respect to individual rights, free enterprise, property ownership, limited government, and a fair and efficient judiciary. It has pursued its educational and intellectual missions through a publishing program, conferences, and the annual Gauer Distinguished Lecture in Law and Public Policy, all of which the AEILC will continue.

AEI's own program on legal and constitutional studies will now appear under the aegis of the AEILC, including its conferences, publications like Constitutional Outlook (formerly Federalist Outlook) and Liability Outlook, and research monographs and books like Federal Preemption: States' Powers, National Interests, a recent AEI Press volume edited by Richard A. Epstein and Michael S. Greve.
