The Department provides drafting, research, review, analysis and advice to the Institution in the following areas:
Case Management
Legal Affairs manages adjudicated tort claims in which the university is a party.
Contract Routing
The Legal Affairs Transaction team also facilitates routing of documents through financial approval, execution by signatory authority, and return to department.
