Conducting Empirical Legal Scholarship Workshop

From Andrew Martin (Wash U):

Conducting Empirical Legal Scholarship Workshop, May 22-24, 2006.  See here.

The Conducting Empirical Legal Scholarship workshop is for law school faculty interested in learning about empirical research.  The workshop will be co-taught by Lee Epstein (soon-to-be at Northwestern University School of Law) and Andrew Martin (Washington University School of Law).  The workshop is co-sponsored by the two schools, and will be held May 22-24, 2006 at the Northwestern law campus.  The course provides the formal training necessary to design, conduct, and assess empirical studies, and to use statistical software (Stata) to analyze and manage data. Participants need no background or knowledge of statistics to enroll in the workshop.

There will also be an advanced workshop this fall on the Washington University campus for the alumni of this introductory workshop and interested others.  This workshop is still in the planning stages; we will post more information when the details are set.

I attended the workshop two years ago. I echo the comments about Andrew Martin as a statistics teacher. I will definitely be attending the advanced program.

I attended this workshop last year. Andrew Martin is an outstanding statistics teacher. Very clear and engaging. The program filled in a lot of nagging holes in my basic knowledge. I am glad to know about the advance program at Wash U. this fall.
