The ReInventLaw Laboratory at Michigan State University College of Law — co-founded by Professor Dr. Daniel Martin Katz and Professor Renee Newman Knake — has received a $150,000 grant from the Kauffman Foundation, according to a press release issued today by the college.

According to the press release, the Kauffman Foundation issued the following remarks about the grant:

“This program will expand access to legal services by creating a new vehicle for the delivery — including lower barriers to entrepreneurial entry into the legal system,” said Dane Stangler, director of research at the Kauffman Foundation. “This grant derives from Kauffman’s Law, Innovation and Growth initiative, which supports research on how best to shape the U.S. legal system so that it promotes innovation and growth.”
