Empirical Legal Studies Fellows Announced

The Center for the Study of Law and Society and Berkeley Empirical Legal Studies (BELS) program announced their 2010-11 BELS graduate fellows. The 11 fellows—six from Berkeley Law’s Jurisprudence & Social Policy Program—were chosen from doctoral, JD, and JSD students engaged in theoretically-informed, empirical research projects that investigate the origins, dynamics, and consequences of law and law-related social institutions. Fellows receive $1,000, share workspace, and conduct monthly workshops to present and discuss research. The JSP fellows are Gwendolyn Leachman, Larisa Mann, Jamie Rowen, Douglas Spencer, Christina Stevens, and Shauhin Talesh.
