WORKSHOP: Collaborative Research: A Workshop on the Normative Implications of Empirical Research in Law and Courts

一个跨学科的研讨会将系统地探讨如何从法律，法院和判断的实证研究的许多见解有直接的规范性影响，有关政策和机构应该如何设计和执行。该研讨会将汇集领先的实证研究人员，并将集中在法律和法院的广泛主题。研究法律和法院的实证政治学家并不总是让相关政策制定者了解他们的工作。然而，对司法程序背景的当代研究产生了许多对决策有用的见解。指导研讨会的问题是：这些实证研究结果如何被用来判断司法程序，机构和政策应该如何设计，操作和执行？研究所将在这次研讨会上编辑出版一卷，在一个可能对决策者有用的框架内传播研究成果。 研讨会的学术价值在于参与跨学科的实地建设，这将突出学术，实证研究如何直接相关到更广泛的政策辩论。讲习班的更广泛影响将是展示经验研究如何与决策者和公众直接相关。通过适当的传播，它可有助于提高司法机构和程序的效率和效力。该研讨会将汇集真正多元化和跨学科的学者，包括高级和初级男女，一些博士。授予部门和一些来自B.A.机构职能体系

An interdisciplinary workshop will systematically probe how the many insights from the empirical study of law, courts, and judging have direct normative implications concerning how policy and institutions ought to be designed and executed. This workshop will bring together leading empirical researchers and will focus on a breadth of topics in law and courts. Empirical political scientists who study law and courts have not always made their work accessible to relevant policymakers. However, contemporary research on the context of the judicial process has produced numerous insights that could be useful in policymaking. The question guiding the workshop is: How can these empirical findings be used to make judgments about how judicial processes, institutions, and policies ought to be designed, operated, and executed? The PIs will produce an edited volume from this workshop that will disseminate research in a framework that could prove useful to policymakers. The workshop's intellectual merit rests in engaging in interdisciplinary field-building that will highlight how academic, empirical research can be directly relevant to broader policy debates. The workshop's broader impact would be in demonstrating how empirical research is directly relevant to policymakers and the public. With appropriate dissemination, it could contribute to efficient and effective judicial institutions and processes. The workshop will bring together a truly diverse and interdisciplinary mix of scholars, including senior and junior men and women, some from Ph.D. granting departments and some from B.A. institutions.
