Empirical Scholarship Workshop

The annual Empiricial Scholarshiop Workshop, a joint effort of Northwestern University Law School and Washington University Law School, will take place on May 24-26 at the Norwestern campus in downtown Chicago.  If you’re wondering whether this conference is for you, here’s a short description.

The Conducting Empirical Legal Scholarship workshop is for law school faculty interested in learning about empirical research. Leading empirical scholars Lee Epstein and Andrew Martin will teach the workshop, which 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.

If you have any interest in doing empirical work, this is the best place to start.  As someone who has largely relied on the advice of others in the ways of empirical work, I’ve always wanted to attend this workshop.  Maybe this is the year !!
