The Center for Constitutional Governance (CCG) at Columbia Law School is a nonpartisan legal and policy organization devoted to the study of constitutional structure and authority. CCG explores these issues in a range of policy areas, such as equality, elections, civil rights, health care, and administrative law. The Center for Constitutional Governance's work is especially timely now, when the contours of federal, state, and private sector authority, and the role of government itself, are at the forefront of national debate.

A central goal of CCG is to provide a forum where academics, government officials, practitioners, students, and others can engage with the major constitutional and governance issues of the day. To this end, CCG sponsors panels, conferences, workshops, and other public events that include a wide array of academics, current and former government officials, private practitioners, and nonprofit advocates. CCG’s home at Columbia Law School, one of the country’s premier academic institutions, allows CCG to bring together experts from across all sectors and all ideologies to engage in collaborative cross-disciplinary discussion and debate.
