Portraits in Oversight
Meet the Levin Center
The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at Wayne State University Law School continues Senator Carl Levin’s long standing commitment to bipartisan legislative oversight. Legislative Oversight can reveal facts and truth about societal problems, can find bipartisan solutions for the American people, and strengthens accountability, checks-and-balances, and the values upholding our democracy.
