The conference's objectives are: (1) to encourage and develop empirical and experimental scholarship on legal issues by providing scholars with an opportunity to present and discuss their work with an interdisciplinary group of people interested in the empirical study of law; and (2) to stimulate ongoing conversations among scholars in law, economics, political science, demographics, finance, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines. The conference's audience will include paper presenters, commentators, and other attendees, and will include many of the nation's leading empirical legal scholars. The goal is productive discourse on both particular papers and appropriate methodologies. We especially encourage submissions from junior scholars.
We welcome submissions of papers in all areas of empirical and experimental legal scholarship. You are welcome to register for and attend the conference whether or not you submit a paper and whether or not your paper is accepted.
The deadline for submission of papers was April 15, 2008, with late papers accepted on a space available basis through May 16th. See the Submissions page (http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/cels2008/Submissions.cfm) for details.
