Your support will help the center focus on threats to democracy and on the key institutions — voting and the electoral system, the presidency, the bureaucracy, Congress, and the courts — which are increasingly falling short of ensuring a stable, democratic, and effective form of government.
In defense of democracy, the Christopher Edley, Jr. Center on Law and Democracy harnesses UC Berkeley’s intellectual resources, in the law school and across the campus, to provide a trusted source of legal analysis and information, a setting for constructive dialogue among differing perspectives, and a springboard for institutional reform. The Edley Center combines rigorous academic study with a commitment to make a real difference.
