The Institute for Local Government Studies was created in 1968 as the Municipal Legal Studies Center. Since that time, the practice of local government law has grown remarkably in importance and complexity.

The Institute's goal was, and is, to provide programs that help to improve the professional skills of men and women who face the tough legal questions challenging our nation's communities.
