The 31st annual Clifford Tort Symposium, “Social Science and Civil Justice,” will be held at DePaul University College of Law on May 22-23.
The program will examine how social scientists’ insights and procedures have influenced the civil justice system. With two dozen academics from around the country, the symposium will consider five key issues raised by social scientists, including what social science research teaches about decision maker prejudice and bias, as well as how judges perform their assigned tasks.
Among the faculty members are Michael Kang, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law; Jennifer Robbennolt, University of Illinois College of Law; Valerie Hans, Cornell Law School; Robert Rabin, Stanford Law School; and Cass Sunstein, Harvard Law School. Stephan Landsman is the Robert A. Clifford Professor of Tort Law and Social Policy Emeritus at DePaul University College of Law.
The hybrid program will be offered in person at 1 E. Jackson Blvd., 8th Floor, Chicago. In-person room capacity is limited.
The program offers up to 10.5 hours of general CLE credit. Click here to register.
