The Center on Law, Ethics and National Security (LENS) was founded at Duke University School of Law on September 1, 1993, by the late Professor Robinson Everett (1928-2009). Everett, a longtime member of the Duke Law Faculty and a former Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, believed that the law school needed a center that would focus on encouraging and sponsoring education, research and publications concerning national security law topics, as well as conducting conferences and seminars in the national security field. Additionally, as the Center's name implies, it was to provide a focus on national security decision-making from an ethical perspective. It is principally funded by a trust established under the will of Kathrine R. Everett, Professor Everett's mother, who shared his keen interest in establishing the Center at Duke.

The Saks Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy, and Ethics is a think tank dedicated to interdisciplinary and collaborative research among scholars and policymakers around issues of mental illness and mental health. As a research institute, the goal is to study issues at the intersection of law, mental health, and ethics as well as influence policy reform and advocacy actions for improved treatment of people with mental illness. Ultimately, an interdisciplinary approach to these important issues will promote a society of well-rounded persons who work with deep satisfaction and integrity and enjoy a clear mind.

The Pacific Center-created in 1991 jointly by the USC Law and the USC Keck School of Medicine-brings an interdisciplinary as well as inter-institutional perspective to the study of ethical problems and health policy development. Recognizing that important issues in health care and research require the broadest possible discussion, the Pacific Center brings together experts form a wide range of fields at USC with representatives from healthcare providers, consumer groups, government, insurers, and other ethics centersThe Pacific Center's work is enhanced by its location at the University of Southern California. This urban institution has many connections to the multiethnic community of Los Angeles, including close association with several hospitals that serve both indigent and private patients. This combination of diverse populations and hospital settings offers the Pacific Center a unique opportunity to examine the health policy choices that Americans of all cultural backgrounds make or would like to make, given adequate resources.

Through a major gift given to the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy from the late Samuel Heyman and his wife, Ronnie, in 1991, the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Center for Ethics, Public Policy and the Professions was established on December 4, 1994. The Heyman Center for Ethics focuses its teaching and research activities on ethical issues in public policy decisions, in campaigns for political office, in governmental entities, in nonprofit organizations and in charitable foundations. The Center sponsors symposia, speakers and conferences. All of the activities of the Center are carried out in memory of Mr. Samuel Heyman and in honor of Mrs. Ronnie Heyman, long-time friends to the Sanford School of Public Policy and the parents of Lazarus Samuel Heyman T ’94 and Elizabeth Heyman Winter T ’03.

The Interdisciplinary Center for Research in Ethics (CIRE) was set up by the Management of the University of Lausanne with the aim of federating and promoting the various academic skills available to UNIL in the field of ethics.
