ELS at HLS

While I never quite know what to make of "in-house" promotional publications, the current issue of the Harvard Law School alumni magazine (Spring 2015) includes an interesting piece on The New Empiricists at HLS. In an introductory note, Dean Martha Minow notes that HLS is "increasing" its "investment in empirical research." The small cadre on the HLS faculty engaged in empirical research includes Jim Greiner whose work includes interesting efforts to randomize field experiments (previously discussed here, here, and here). Somewhat surprising, to me anyway, is the reported growing demand for ELS instruction and courses from HLS students.
