The Law and Government Institute is dedicated to the study of government law. The Institute helps students prepare for careers in public service by exploring how government works and the roles that lawyers play in making and implementing law. First responders bring a unique background and expansive skill set that helps enrich the Institute and enables first responders to find career paths that are reflective of their goals, values and skills.
