CMI-UiB LawTransform

Centre on Law & Social Transformation – LawTransform – is a network of scholars, students and practitioners who share an interest in how law shapes societies, and the use of rights and courts as tools for social change.

LawTransform is a collaboration between the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and the University of Bergen (UiB). Fellows and affiliates come from numerous institutions in Bergen and globally, and are drawn from a broad range of academic fields. Through a number of interdisciplinary research projects, we explore how law and legal institutions function, and how legal strategies are used as political tools – lawfare – to advance goals such as children’s- and migrants’ rights, health, sustainable development, peace and gender equality – and develop new methods to study the effects.

On this channel, we publish videos from our events. Check out our website https://www.lawtransform.no/ for information about our future events!
