About The Center

The Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics is dedicated to education and public discussion of timely issues in law and politics. We invite distinguished scholars and advocates to the University of Oregon to carry on the tradition of Wayne Morse. The Wayne Morse Chair of Law and Politics has been active since 1980. A generous gift from Ed Conklin, a former colleague of Morse when he was a labor arbitrator, allowed the university to expand the activities of the Morse Chair Professor by creating the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics.
The center organizes many of its activities under a theme of inquiry. The theme for 2009-2011 is Climate Ethics and Climate Equity. The two-year inquiry will examine overarching ethical issues involved with climate change as well as solutions that focus on equity and environmental justice, both domestically and internationally.

The center carries out its mission through programs such as the Wayne Morse Chair of Law and Politics and Distinguished Speakers.
