Our Mission
Our mission is to conduct strategic legal research that mitigates existential risk and promotes the flourishing of future generations, and to build a field that shares these priorities.
Our Goals
Strategic Research
Our primary goal is to conduct strategic research that can be used by key actors—for example, policymakers, judges, and litigators—working on the world’s most pressing problems. Our research currently focuses on mitigating existential risk and promoting the flourishing of future generations.
Field Building
We aim to strategically raise awareness about our concern for the long-term future and build a field that shares our priorities. We want to bring together individuals at every level of seniority and support the most effective ways to use the law to protect future generations and mitigate existential risk.
