The New Legal Empiricism: Should We
Declare a New School of Scholarship
Moderator:
David Hyman, University of Maryland
Speakers: - Margaret Friedlander Brinig, University of Iowa
- Bryant G. Garth, Director and Research Fellow, American Bar Foundation, Chicago, Illinois
- Mark Gregory Kelman, Stanford Law School
- Daniel M. Klerman, University of Southern California
- James Lindgren, Northwestern University
As empiricism spreads--or metastasizes depending on your point of view--people are beginning to consider whether a new school of Empirical Legal Studies is developing or whether the old schools (Law & Society, Law & Economics, Law & Psychology, Legal History, etc.) are just changing in response to the challenge. The panelists will discuss a range of issues from new ideas that are influencing the fields to the boundaries among fields to the structure of empirical work and knowledge. The rise of behavioral research, heuristic insights, new techniques or technologies, and experimental approaches may be explored.
