An academic bastion of conservative policy ideals, LEC runs judicial institutes on topics such as property rights and science in the courts.
According to its website "Since its first institute for judges in 1976, 800 judges have taken an LEC program, including two members of the Supreme Court, and over a third of the Article III federal bench. The LEC first accepted state court appellate judges into its programs in 2001, and since then 108 of them have taken an LEC program."
