Student Committee Panel: Conducting Research to Address Real-World Problems
​
(Sponsored by the AP-LS Student Committee)
Legal practitioners across different areas of practice will discuss how they utilize social science research in their work and identify ways in which research could be more useful in applied, legal contexts. The disconnect between social science research and the real-world legal problems lawyers face can make it difficult to apply research in legal cases and policy work because of concerns that the research findings may not generalize beyond the laboratory. This panel is intended to start a conversation among psychologists and lawyers (including psychologists- and lawyers-in-training) about how research can be more targeted and useful and fill existing gaps legal practitioners see, given the constraints inherent in conducting ethical and sound research.
Time: 1:30-2:50 pm
Location: ​Grand Crescent - 4th Floor


Saturday Evening Poster Session
