Rutgers University-Newark’s Center on Law, Inequality, and Metropolitan Equity has been an interdisciplinary law and policy institute dedicated to impact research on issues of structural inequality since 2011. CLiME’s research, publications, and partnerships reflect the University’s commitment to civic engagement and public scholarship, in Newark, across New Jersey, and the nation. Our law and policy projects are designed for impact.
