Created in 1987, the Indiana University--Bloomington Center for Law, Society, and Culture actively supports and promotes a multidisciplinary understanding of law through scholarship, teaching, and discussion. The Center part of the Indiana University School of Law at Bloomington, produces, presents and coordinates research conducted by the more than 70 scholars from schools and department across Indiana University. The Center’s affiliated scholars hold appointments in African-American studies, business, journalism history, economics, English, criminal justice, law, and gender studies, among others, and are dedicated to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the role of law in society and culture. The Center supports research related to the law in broad sense, including the cultural aspects of law expressed through political theory and scientific aspects of law express through technological advances in biotechnology, environmental science and information technology.

The Center reaches beyond the community at Indiana University to promote the interdisciplinary study of social questions in the Academy by sponsoring lectures, conferences, editing a law and society working paper series, and through its Center Fellows program. Center co-director Kenneth Dau-Schmidt edits the Law and Society working paper series on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). This innovative series allows scholars to post for wide dissemination works-in progress. As we prepare the next generation of law and society scholars, the Indiana University School of Law Center for Law, Society, and Culture is working to assure that the multidisciplinary approach to the study of law remains a vital part of legal scholarship
