THE CHARLES R. WILLIAMS PROJECT ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION LAW

The Williams Project is the nation's first think tank dedicated to the field of sexual orientation law and public policy. The Williams Project supports legal scholarship, legal research, policy analysis, and education regarding sexual orientation discrimination and other legal issues impacting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. The Williams Project originated from the recognition that issues central to sexual orientation law not only impact the lesbian and gay civil rights movement, but have profound implications for the development of the law and public policy in general. Drawing on the tremendous intellectual and material resources of UCLA, one of the nation's leading universities, the Williams Project provides a national center for the interdisciplinary exploration of these issues by scholars, judges, practitioners, advocates, and students.

The Williams Project was made possible through the vision and generosity of philanthropist, educator, and businessman, Charles R. Williams. Professor William B. Rubenstein, one of the nation's leading experts on sexual orientation law, is the Project's Founding Director. Professor R. Bradley Sears will serve as the Project's Administrative Director.
