75 Years In the Making

The Center for American and International Law was founded by Dean Robert G. Storey in 1947. One of Storey’s goals for the legal center was that it be designed to become “a clearinghouse for legal problems, a forum where lawyers, judges, interested laymen, public officials, professors, and students may coordinate their efforts for the improvement of the law and the administration of justice.”
