Leveraging the University of Michigan’s world-class research facilities and Southeast Michigan’s global leadership in transportation technologies, the Law and Mobility Program fosters innovative research, scholarship, and discussion at the dynamic intersection of law and mobility.

About the Law and Mobility Program

The Law and Mobility Program is committed to a future where cutting-edge mobility technologies, from autonomous vehicles to commercial space travel, seamlessly coexist with a robust legal framework that drives innovation, ensures safety, and promotes equitable access to transportation solutions for all.

We contribute to this vision in an interdisciplinary manner, harnessing a deep bench of expertise from private industry, academia, and government to encourage dialogue and provide enriching learning opportunities for stakeholders and students. The Law and Mobility Program also offers students the opportunity to participate in its legal research projects that span a variety of areas of law, including technology law, environmental law, privacy law, and human rights law.

The Law and Mobility Program is a joint initiative of the University of Michigan Law School and Mcity, the University of Michigan’s mobility innovations research facility.
