In the last few weeks, we have listed some very attractive opportunities for ELS-related education opportunities over the summer. Here is another one:
Cornell Law School and the Universite Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne are cosponsoring their fourteenth annual Paris Summer Institute, a five-week academic program in international and comparative law. The course are ABA-accredited and taught in English. This year there are a dozen course offerings, including "Law & Social Science: A Comparative Approach," which will be taught by Valerie Hans (Cornell Law).
The course will examine how social science expertise is employed in legal cases in multiple countries. It will also address how common law and civil traditions, the diversity of legal procedures, and the range of legal cultures affect the use and impact of social science in law.
Bill, thanks for posting this on the ELS blog. I want to add that I'm very interested in learning of work by empirical legal scholars that crosses the borders. I'm especially interested in examining how scientific experts are used in diverse countries. Fellow ELS bloggers, if you are doing such work, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!!!
