Legal and Constitutional Studies (831 items)

AEI sponsors a wealth of research that examines the legal and constitutional aspects of current policy controversies. The National Legal Center for the Public Interest merged into AEI, forming a new research division named the AEI Legal Center for the Public Interest (AEILC). The AEILC pursues an expanded program of research, publications, and conferences on legal and constitutional issues drawing on the traditions, interests, and people of both institutions. The AEILC is directed by AEI resident fellow Ted Frank.

Menus That Fit Your Needs

When browsing page listings, you can filter what you are seeing by subject matter:

all subjects (the default)
economics
foreign & defense
political & social

For example, someone interested in economic policy can filter a list of recent commentary so as to view material on only that issue.

Look for the filter bar near the top of menu pages, above the red page title and the "breadcrumb" trail of links.

For an even narrower focus, the website's research section organizes online offerings by specific subject.
