About Rutgers CLiME

Rutgers Law School-Newark’s Center on Law, Inequality and Metropolitan Equity (CLiME) is an interdisciplinary impact research institute dedicated to issues of structural inequality. CLiME’s research, publications and partnerships represent the University’s commitment to civic engagement and public scholarship, in Newark, across New Jersey, and nationwide. Our approach to structural inequality assumes that most racial and economic disparities are place-based and reflect the differences in resources afforded key institutions based on law, practical rules and operational norms.
