Sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation and ABA
This event is about the intersection of two seemingly disparate fields: law and neuroscience. More specifically, the one day program will connect the two fields in thought-provoking discussions on criminal, civil, and regulatory contexts amongst the arise of rapid, important, and challenging developments in the field of cognitive neuroscience, the study of how the brain thinks. With the generous support of the MacArthur Foundation, the Research Network on Law and Neuroscience presents an engaging program for the practicing bar, as we bring together thought leaders from a number of legal practice areas. Lawyers, judges, policymakers, and legal scholars will join members of the cognitive neuroscience, forensic psychiatry, neurology, and criminology communities for an event aptly titled The Future of Law and Neuroscience, and we intend to offer a structure that maximizes discussion and debate about what, exactly, this future will look like.
