In 2001, The Center for American and International Law created the Institute for Litigation Studies.
Under the leadership of Judge Patrick Higginbotham, Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Center for American and International Law, an extraordinary Executive Committee was assembled to launch the Institute.
Thus far, much of the work of the Institute has been devoted to Capital Trial Advocacy.
