580.01 Law and Social Science Colloquium

This research seminar will involve discussing some of the latest research at the intersection of the fields of law and social science. Over the semester, we will host outside speakers presenting cutting-edge interdisciplinary work involving a variety of methods, including quantitative, qualitative, and experimental.  Topics will cover both public and private law subjects.  We will read introductory material to better understand the relevant social science methods. Students will be asked to prepare, in advance, short and critical reaction papers of the speakers’ work, including both the methodology and contributions of the research.  The requirements for the class are completion of the reaction papers and active participation in the seminar discussions. There will be one class meeting each week. On dates that speakers are invited, the class will meet at lunch.
