PRLDEF Institute for Puerto Rican Policy, the Policy Division of the Puerto Rican
Legal Defense and Education Fund

The PRLDEF Institute for Puerto Rican Policy was created as a result of the recent merger between the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF), founded in 1972, and the Institute for Puerto Rican Policy (IPR), founded in 1982. This new division of PRLDEF will conduct policy analysis and advocacy, and will collaborate with PRLDEF's Litigation Division to integrate the organization's litigation and policy work.
