Empirical Legal Studies Blog

Jason Czarnezki (Marquette University), William Ford (University of Chicago), Michael Heise, and Theodore Eisenberg (both Cornell) have created a new blog focussing on empirical studies of law and judicial processes. In political science, empirical studies of the law have been around for quite a while, but more recently legal scholars, including the blog's founders, have begun to use empirical methods, too. The blog should be of interest for scholars from both sides of the law/political science divide and already has a promising line-up of guest contributors, including some of the most important legal and political science scholars in the field. The URL is http://www.elsblog.org/.
