BEPRESS - Appearing in the offerings of The Berkeley Electronic Press, the Gruter Institute Working Papers Series and the Gruter Institute Classics Series are part of the research program of the Gruter Institute for Law and Behavioral Research, which brings together a network of international scholars to focus on the intersection of law, economics, and the social sciences with biology.

SSRN - In 2007, the Gruter Institute was invited to submit papers associated with our "Free Enterprise: Values in Action" project on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). This allowed the various authors to share their ideas efficiently and enabled collaborations and interactions not only among the group of submitting authors, but to the multidisciplinary scholars who download and cite work on SSRN.
Since that time, the Gruter Institute has expanded our online presence on the Legal Scholarship Network section of the SSRN website. Information including conference agendas, submitted abstracts and articles can be found under the Gruter Institute conferences section of the Legal Scholarship Network.
