The Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL) is a joint partnership between the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Vanderbilt University, established in 2017 to enhance the understanding and effectiveness of lawmakers and U.S. legislative institutions. It evolved from the Legislative Effectiveness Project, leveraging research by Craig Volden and Alan E. Wiseman, and aims to foster effective lawmaking through research, conferences, and resources for lawmakers. The CEL is directed by prominent scholars and engages in various initiatives to improve legislative effectiveness, making it a key player in addressing public policy challenges in America.
