About LawTransform - Centre on Law & Social Transformation

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 was established in 2014 as 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, including law, political science, economics, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, medicine, and psychology. 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.
