The Legal Priorities Project is an independent, global research project founded by researchers from Harvard University. We conduct legal research that tackles the world’s most pressing problems – we call this “legal priorities research.”
More about us
We aim to establish “legal priorities research” as a new research field. We currently focus on four cause areas: law and governance of advanced artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, institutional design, and meta-research. Our research is influenced by the principles of effective altruism and the longtermism paradigm.
More about our research
We are excited to announce the launch of a new network open to anyone interested in engaging more closely with legal longtermism. Read more and join here.
Together with the University of Hamburg, we are co-organizing the 2022 Multidisciplinary Forum on Longtermism and the Law on 9-11 June 2022. Abstract submissions are open until February 15.
