Center for Government Law

The Center for Government Law was established to provide integrated academic and practical skills training in government administration and regulation. Preparing students for the practice of law in the public sector is a primary goal of the Center. The Center works with numerous governmental organizations on the local, state and federal level. The Center also serves as a bridge between government and academia by providing practical experience to students who assist government leaders in advancing research in a multitude of law and public policy arenas. The Center works with the TSU Legislative Director during the Texas Legislative session to monitor and report on proposed legislation that impacts TSU and the urban community. The Center produces a report on the Legislative session on the impact of new legislation on TSU and the urban community.

Through the Center’s Programs, students gain an opportunity to receive a Certification in Government Law, invaluable practical experience via Externships in various governmental entities, increased employment possibilities, and extensive career contacts.
