The University of Chicago Law School has launched the Malyi Center for the Study of Institutional and Legal Integrity, a center that will stimulate new research on the sources of sound institutions, their consequences, and the conditions of their endurance. The center is funded by a generous commitment from Pavel Malyi, LLM ’95. Tom Ginsburg, the Leo Spitz Distinguished Service Professor of International Law and a leading expert on international and comparative law, is the new center’s faculty director.
