Course Description
This course will pair undergraduate honors students with law students to collaboratively plan, conduct, and hopefully publish original social science research, testing important questions for legal reform and social policy. This research will be inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on legal, economic, psychological, political, sociological, and philosophical literatures. Examples of research topics, include: Do offers of immunity cause witnesses to lie, and do juries sufficiently account for that possibility? Would a policy that mandates that physicians disclose conflicts of interest improve patient decision-making, and how should such disclosures be given? The course will be ideal for students interested in attending law school or graduate school in the social sciences.
