Please join us on Friday, Nov. 8th, for STLR's annual symposium, “Judging Science.” This year’s symposium will explore how the judiciary currently assesses and incorporates scientific and expert testimony in the US legal system, and our panel of leading legal scholars will discuss potential improvements to make scientific evidence more reliable and understandable in court proceedings.  

The Symposium will feature a wide range of viewpoints on the state of scientific evidence in the US judicial system. Scholars who will be contributing their expertise and commentary include: Prof. Edward K. Cheng of Vanderbilt Law School, Prof. Edith Beerdsen of Temple University Beasley School of Law, Prof. Valerie Hans of Cornell Law School, Prof. Maura Grossman of the University of Waterloo, Honorable Paul W. Grimm, Prof. David Faigman of UC Law San Francisco, Prof. Shari Diamond of Northwestern University School of Law, and Prof. Richard Lempert of the University of Michigan Law School. Please see the attached flyer for the full schedule. 

The Symposium will take place at Jerome Greene Hall, Room 104, Columbia Law School, 435 W 116th St, New York, NY 10027, on November 8th, 10 am - 5 pm. Lunch will be provided.
