UCLA's idre

Every once in a while it is useful to remind folks about truly extraordinary (and, in this instance, free) resources that can assist those engaged in empirical legal scholarship. One such resource is UCLA's Institute for Digital Research and Education ("idre"). Among its numerous assets includes on-line tutorials (and associated resources) for those beginning with and somewhat already deeper into SPSS, SAS, R, and Stata (as well as other major statistical programs). Well worth a look, especially for those in need of a break from grading.
