My Research

I use social-cognitive psychology theories and methods to examine the behavioral assumptions embedded within the law and its legal systems related to how people make decisions and interpret legal rules and procedures.

tl;dr

I study things like… how judges make decisions how courts interpret legal rules & how authorities interpret and apply legal procedures
