What is a Contract and Why Do I Care?: Exploring the Relationship between Psychology and Contract Law
Presented by:
Julie Wertheimer, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Emma Marshall, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Katherine P. Hazen, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Abstract
This workshop will provide an overview of the law of contracts. Contract law has been unfairly described as a doctrine-heavy subject that translates poorly to real-world application.

In order to challenge common beliefs about the irrelevancy of contract law, this workshop will explore the basic rules regarding contract formation and enforcement, emphasizing how and why an understanding of contract law is relevant from a human and psychological perspective.

These topics will be primarily explored through an interactive discussion about the basic tenants of contract law and its application to our daily lives and work. In addition, workshop participants will learn methods of basic legal analysis. Using examples of well-known contracts in pop-culture, this workshop will emphasize how pervasive contract law has become in our society. Discussion will further emphasize how empirical research can influence the future of contract law.

What is free speech and will I know it when I see it?: Basics of Constitutional Analysis for the law of free speech and obscenity

Presented by:
Emma Marshall, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Evan McCracken, MLS/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Abstract
This workshop will provide an overview of the law of the First Amendment. The First Amendment protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference.

This workshop will explore the doctrinal principles and purposes underlying the scope of that protection, with a particular focus on the law of free speech. Supreme Court doctrine has created shades of gray and spaces for psycholegal scholarship inherent in many legal questions that persist in this area of Constitutional law. During the session presenters will review the historical development of the case law involving free speech.

The presenters will also consider modern legal rules and analysis courts employ to resolve free speech issues. These topics will be primarily explored through an interactive discussion about the categories of unprotected speech, specifically obscenity. The law of obscenity will be scrutinized in terms of the assumptions about human behavior and socio-cultural norms that are central to the justifications for allowing this type of offensive, sexual speech to be regulated. Colloquial understandings of the meaning of free speech will be compared and distinguished from legal notions and definitions of terms in the case law.

Privacy and the Fourth Amendment: Basics of Criminal Procedure Analysis for Government Searches and Seizures

Presented by:
Emma Marshall, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Katherine P. Hazen, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Josh Haby, MLS/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Abstract
This workshop will provide an introductory review of the Supreme Court's Fourth Amendment jurisprudence and related issues of Constitutional Law and criminal procedure.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protects the right of the people to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by Government actors. The Fourth Amendment has historically served an important and fundamental function in protecting individual liberties in American society.

This workshop will explore the legal principles and judicial assumptions about human behavior and privacy underlying the interpretations of the scope of the Amendment's protections by the Court. Further, we will examine the Fourth Amendment in terms of its history, its influence in the modern criminal trial, and engage in an interactive discussion about how contemporary social norms and modern technology might factor into the Courts analysis of similar issues in the intersection of Criminal Procedure and Constitutional law in the future.

Due Process: Basics of Criminal Procedure Analysis

Presented by:
Krystia Reed, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Andrea Avila, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Katherine P. Hazen, JD/PhD Student, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Abstract
This workshop will provide an introductory review of the due process analysis applied in the criminal justice context. The due process clause of the 5th amendment requires due process of the law to deprive any individual of life, liberty, or property. We will review what the due process clause means and how it has been applied by the court. Additionally, we will practice the analysis with a few hypotheticals.
