The University of Chicago Law School has launched the Malyi Center for the Study of Institutional and Legal Integrity, a center that will stimulate new research on the sources of sound institutions, their consequences, and the conditions of their endurance. The center is funded by a generous commitment from Pavel Malyi, LLM ’95. Tom Ginsburg, the Leo Spitz Distinguished Service Professor of International Law and a leading expert on international and comparative law, is the new center’s faculty director.
The early ’90s were an exciting time to be a young lawyer starting a career in Russia. Pavel Malyi, LLM ’95, received his law degree from Moscow State Institute of International Relations in 1991, when the forces for democratization in the Soviet Union had gained unstoppable momentum.
