The Law & Economics Center (LEC) at George Mason University School of Law will be hosting the “LEC Workshop for Law Professors on Empirical Methods” on Monday, May 18-22, 2015 at George Mason University School of Law in Arlington, VA.
“The Workshop for Law Professors on Empirical Methods is designed to teach law professors the conceptual and practical skills required to (1) understand and evaluate others’ empirical studies, and (2) design and implement their own empirical studies. Participants are not expected to have background in statistical knowledge or empirical skills prior to enrollment. Instructors have been selected in part to demonstrate the development of empirical studies in a wide-range of legal and institutional settings including: antitrust, business law, bankruptcy, class actions, contracts, criminal law and sentencing, federalism, finance, intellectual property, and securities regulation.”
