How We Work

Identifying inventive policy and approaches to labor law

CLJE focuses on developing the breadth of innovative policy proposals needed to advance a comprehensive vision for the future of empowering workers.

Connecting academia, advocacy, labor, and government

Housed at Harvard Law School, CLJE brings together scholars in the fields of law, economics, business, history, and more with partners across the labor movement and all levels of government.

Bringing an independent perspective

Working independently of labor policy institutions and leaders, CLJE explores diverse strategies to countervail the power of concentrated wealth.
