Where Law and Data Meet: Georgetown Law Hosts 19th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies
Leading scholars in law, economics, political science and other fields gathered at Georgetown Law Oct. 24 and 25 for the 19th annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies (CELS), the premier conference for researchers interested in empirical analysis of law and legal institutions.
This year marks the first time Georgetown Law has hosted the two-day convening, which featured more than 40 discussionsessions highlighting 100-plus research papers on timely legal topics ranging from policing and public safety to election disputes and artificial intelligence. Founded in 2006 and co-sponsored by the Society for Empirical Legal Studies, the 2025 conference brought together nearly 200 interdisciplinary researchers from across the United States and the world who use quantitative methods to carry out their research.
"CELS is one of my favorite events of the year, so it was an honor to help host it here at Georgetown," said Interim Dean Joshua C. Teitelbaum, who holds a Ph.D. in economics in addition to his law degree. Teitelbaum organized the conference in collaboration with Professor David Hyman and University of Michigan Law School Dean (and former Georgetown Law professor) Neel Sukhatme. "When I was in law school in the 1990s, this field of study was just emerging, so it's been fascinating over the years to see how increasing numbers of scholars are using empirical methods to analyze various legal issues."
Georgetown Law's role in organizing this year's conference builds on the Law Center's longstanding history in empirical legal studies, including the establishment of the Law and Economics Program and Workshop more than 25 years ago. Since 2022, Georgetown Law faculty have published more than half a dozen articles in the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, the official journal of the Society for Empirical Legal Studies.
'Update your beliefs'
Professor Uri Simonsohn of ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain delivered the keynote address, "From False Positive to Positively False: Past & Future Efforts to Make Social Science More Credible."
A behavioral scientist, Simonsohn is credited with helping bring to light the problem of false positive results in psychology and social science research. In 2013, he co-founded the blog "Data Colada," which investigates and exposes data manipulation and other forms of research misconduct.
In his address, Simonsohn shared recent efforts to apply best practices learned from the social sciences replication crisis, such as improved data collection transparency, to economics research. "The whole point of doing research is to update your beliefs," he said. "Fraud made reforming psychology possible by drawing so much attention to credibility."
A 'common language' for scholars
For Associate Professor Filippo Lancieri, whose research focuses on the interplay between markets and governments, the keynote address was indeed one of the highlights of the conference.
"In a world where trust in scholarship and the role of academia in society are being challenged, it was powerful to have someone give a keynote about the ethics of our work and how to ensure that it is reproducible and rigorous," he said following the event, adding, "I was also very impressed with the breadth and depth of the topics discussed throughout the conference."
At the conference, Lancieri presented a recent paper he co-authored, "The Conflict-of-Interest Discount in The Marketplace of Ideas." He noted that the session, in which his work was discussed alongside papers about disparities in hospital mortality and the global spread of empirical legal studies, highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of CELS -- and the value of scholarly exchange and engagement between people with divergent backgrounds and research interests.
"The field of empirical legal studies is in the business of using different methods from very different areas -- economics, business, accounting, computational and political sciences, sociology -- to empirically measure and demonstrate relations between legal problems and questions that impact the law," he said, likening empirical legal studies to a "common language" among researchers.
"What is interesting about empirical legal studies is that it is ultimately committed to methods more than questions," he said. "It's not about which questions you're asking. It's about how you answer the questions that you want to ask."

By Anna Zarra Aldrich, College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources
The Korey Stringer Institute (KSI) at UConn has unveiled a new state-of-the-art facility to supporttheir growing work on occupational heat safety.
The National Laboratory for Occupational Heat Safety at UConn's Korey Stringer Institute Powered by Magid & MISSION officially opened on Nov. 12 with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the 750-square-foot site in Gampel Pavilion.
KSI has a close relationship with both MISSION and Magid to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of their products through KSI's robust scientific testing and research capabilities.
"We are thrilled to expand our partnership with both MISSION and Magid," says Douglas Casa, KSI CEO and Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor in Kinesiology. "Our collaboration does so much to improve safety for laborers and athletes around the world. It provides credibility for the effectiveness of innovative products, and KSI has even more experience working with these populations in real-life conditions in the best facilities possible."
The National Lab for Occupational Heat Safety is KSI's second state-of-the-art facility on UConn's campus to conduct its heat safety research, the first being the MISSION Heat Lab which opened in 2017.
"MISSION is proud to partner with KSI on our second Heat Lab at UConn. Through innovative solutions like cooling, we're dedicated to improving heat safety for both laborers and athletes in all conditions. We're excited to continue this journey together and look forward to the accomplishments we'll achieve at the new Occupational Heat Safety Lab," says MISSION CEO Jocelyn Thornton.
Founded in 2009 by a group of world-class athletes, including Serena Williams, Dwyane Wade, and Drew Brees, MISSION is a leader in head-to-toe cooling and heat-relief product innovations designed to improve safety and performance for anyone who works, plays, or lives in the heat. With a strong commitment to addressing heat-related risks, MISSION has established its Heat Health(TM) & Safety division, focused on providing comprehensive solutions that enhance employee safety in high-temperature environments.
"We're proud to partner with KSI, an organization that shares our commitment to protecting workers from preventable injuries. Together, we're combining innovation and expertise to advance heat safety solutions that keep people safe where it matters most -- on the job," says Gary Cohen, family owner and senior director of global product strategy and quality at Magid.
Founded in 1946, Magid is a fourth-generation and family-owned leader in the safety industry using in-house manufacturing and a worldwide network of suppliers to create personal protective equipment innovations.
"This new facility ideally positions KSI to be a major player to increase attention and understanding of what we can do to keep workers productive and safe when they have to do their jobs in the heat," says Casa.
Alongside being able to study the impact of heat, humidity, sun, and wind, the new facility will allow KSI's team of researchers to expand their work to altitude up to 12,000 feet. The facility contains equipment that can remove oxygen from the air, mimicking high-altitude conditions. This is important as workers and warfighters are sometimes battling not just extreme heat, but altitude as well.
KSI has been a global leader in heat safety research since its founding in 2010. Their work focuses on three populations: athletes, warfighters, and laborers. Because of their specialized research capabilities and unique expertise, KSI serves as a heat mitigation provider for some of America's largest companies, like Delta Airlines and UPS, to tackle the health and economic impact of heat stress. KSI is located within UConn's College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR), and the institute recently expanded with a satellite lab, KSI at UNF, within the Brooks College of Health at the University of North Florida.
"The Korey Stringer Institute and its globally recognized faculty from the Department of Kinesiology provide a world-class demonstration of UConn's commitment to impactful research, preeminent expertise, and public service," says UConn President Radenka Maric. "This new facility is a welcome addition to our University, and will help KSI expand and enhance its mission, which is more critical now than ever."
As the planet continues to warm, the need for research on laborer heat safety has only been increasing, calling for KSI to expand its research capacity.
"Heat is an ever-present risk in an ever-warming climate, and it's likely going to continue increasing at an exponential pace," Casa says. "Each ensuing year will likely have greater risk than the year before."

SAN BERNARDINO, California, Nov. 18 -- California State University San Bernardino campus issued the following news:

Lifelong partners and pioneer leaders of 60 years ago helped shape the CSUSB of today
Richard and Linda Bennecke built their lives alongside the growing institution. Richard was the college's student body president, while Linda, a campus tour guide, produced the college's first historic publication, "The T Tauri."
*
In the fall of 1965, Cal State San Bernardino opened with little more than a vision. The campus consisted of three concrete block buildings -- a library, aclassroom building and a building for offices -- surrounded by acres of empty land. With only 293 students, there were no dorms, no student union, no traditions to carry forward. There were no formal athletic programs, just two ping-pong tables where students and faculty competed between classes.
For some, the future of this new college seemed uncertain. But for Richard and Linda Bennecke, it was the first of many opportunities to make a difference.
"I would love to be part of something that's just getting off the ground," Linda, a Redlands native, remembered thinking when she made the decision to attend San Bernardino State College. "I recognized it as a very historical moment that we were living and experiencing," she said.
Richard, who had completed two years of college at the University of Redlands and was transferring to San Bernardino, agreed. "I thought, 'What an experience. How many people get to witness and experience the birth of a college?' I basically took a chance, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life."
Together, they built their lives alongside the growing institution. Richard, a political science major, became the college's first student body president, worked to establish the foundation for student life and graduated in the first class in 1967.
Linda, who majored in sociology, worked as a campus tour guide and produced "The T Tauri," the campus's first historic publication. She was a member of the third graduating class in 1969, which included 14 first "pioneer graduates," so named because that they were the first to attend all four years at the fledgling college.
Their leadership roles on campus also carried into their careers. After his graduation, Richard became CSUSB's Student Activities advisor, then the first director of the Student Union and later the first director of Alumni Affairs, while Linda remained deeply connected to the campus through student organizations and later professional and civic leadership.
"We worked together. We didn't always agree, but we always worked it out," Richard said. "Those became building blocks for our relationship and for the university."
And while they hadn't known one another in Redlands, it wasn't long before their paths crossed through their student leadership roles. "Later we started the saying, and it probably is true today, 'Meet your mate at SB State,'" Richard said with a laugh. Their first date was in April 1966 and they married in 1969. "They said it wouldn't last," Linda said, smiling, "but look where we are now, 57 years later."
In terms of the academic rigor the new college offered, "I actually likened it to a graduate program," Richard said. "Most of my classes had no more than maybe 12 students. A great majority of my professors were right out of Ph.D. programs with the latest, greatest information. Talk about an education; it was really fantastic."
Yet in those early years, there were no established clubs, activities or social traditions, just students trying to build a campus culture from scratch. For Richard, as student body president, that meant taking on one of the toughest challenges: convincing fellow students to fund their own future.
"The whole idea was that we needed to create a college atmosphere," he said. "We had to get a vote of the students to pass a fee, basically tax themselves. We thought, 'If we don't, this school may never get off the ground.'"
Linda noted that in addition to passing the student fee to fund the Associated Students Inc. (ASI), four committees were created, which included the publication, social, constitution and election committees. "We got our friends and acquaintances to work on these committees, and off we went."
She also recognized a chance to record the genesis of the new college in real time. "I wasn't a history major, but I recognized it as a very historical moment ... that's why I created 'The T Tauri,'" a written record of the college's background, which included information on the site selection, many firsts for the campus, and biographies of the first faculty members," she said.
After graduating, Richard remained at CSUSB as an administrator for 17 years. Along the way, he also earned a master's degree in public administration at the University of Southern California. He went on to serve five years as chief of staff for the San Bernardino mayor before launching a career with the U.S. Department of Defense implementing military base closures.
The importance of education became the cornerstone of their family life.
"Our main mantra was not 'if' you go to college, but 'when' you go to college," Linda said. Richard, himself the first in his family to attend college, said the goal of a college education for their children "has been an integral part of our whole family culture."
Once their children were in elementary school, Linda drew on her CSUSB experiences as she built a career in insurance and organizational leadership. "At Cal State, we had opportunities to do things we'd never done before personally," she said. "The more challenges you take on and succeed at, the more you realize what you can accomplish."
She began her long-term insurance career as a claims adjuster, later moved into the commercial field, and eventually rose through the ranks at AAA, where she became vice president of sales and marketing in AAA of Northern California. She later served as vice president of sales with the California Dental Association in Sacramento before retiring in southern California with Richard.
Since their student days at CSUSB, Richard and Linda raised three sons, all of whom attended CSUSB, and have six grandchildren, including one who graduated from CSUSB. For their family, the university has remained a touchstone across generations.
Looking back on six decades of growth at CSUSB, Richard reflected on how much has changed -- and how much has stayed the same.
"The values of academic excellence and small class sizes have not changed in 60 years ... those basics are still the same," he said. "I'm very happy and pleased to have been a part of that whole process and part of the momentum that made this university the great university that it is today.
"I've always felt a special place in my heart for Cal State ...," he added. "I was given opportunities there that I would not have had at another campus. For that, I'm forever grateful, and I will always support the university."

Fordham Offers New Certificate in Ethics and Emerging Technologies
By Alex Williamson
As new technologies like artificial intelligence become increasingly embedded in everyday life, questions about how to use them responsibly have grown more urgent. A new advanced certificate program at Fordham aims to help professionals engage with those questions and build expertise as ethical decision-makers in an evolving technological landscape.
The Advanced Certificate in Ethics and Emerging Technologies is scheduled to launchin August 2026, with applications due April 1. The 12-credit program provides students with a foundation for understanding not only how technologies such as AI work, but also how to evaluate their social and moral implications to make informed decisions about their use.
A Long History of Ethical Education
The program's development was guided by faculty in Fordham's Center for Ethics Education, which has been a part of the University community for roughly three decades. According to Megan Bogia, associate director for academic programs and strategic initiatives at the center, the certificate program was developed in response to a growing need for ethical literacy among professionals working with new technologies--whether that means weighing questions of bias in AI-driven hiring tools, navigating privacy concerns in health data, or understanding the societal effects of automation.
"As technologies rapidly advance and permeate more deeply into our daily lives, it's important that we simultaneously build up the fluency to interrogate them," said Bogia. "Not just so that we can advance a more just society, but also so we can be internally confident in navigating an increasingly complicated world."
Flexible Options for a Variety of Fields
Students will complete courses that examine ethical issues related to technology, as well as classes that provide technical grounding in the systems behind it. One required course, currently under development by the Department of Computer and Information Science, will cover artificial intelligence for non-specialists, Bogia said, helping students understand "all of the machinations of LLMs--large language models--so they can be fully informed interlocutors with the models."
Other courses will explore questions of moral responsibility and social impact. Electives such as "Algorithmic Bias" and "Technology and Human Development" will allow students to dig more deeply into specialized areas.
Bogia said the program--which can be completed full-time or part-time, over the course of one or two years--was designed to be flexible and relevant for students across a wide range of fields and career stages. It may appeal to professionals working in areas such as business, education, human resources, health care, and law, as well as those in technology-focused fields like data science and cybersecurity.
"These ethical questions are everywhere," Bogia said. "We'll have learning environments that meet students where they're at and allow them to develop fluency in a way that's most useful for them."
She added that Fordham is an especially fitting place to pursue this kind of inquiry.
"As a Jesuit institution, Fordham is well-positioned to be concerned and compassionate in the face of hard problems," said Bogia.

FAITH -
In the epilogue, Dr. Deyton explains that the book's core principles are fundamentally Judeo-Christian, a discussion he intentionally saved for the end so the advice could be evaluated on its own merits. This final chapter provides the full framework for his worldview, outlining his personal beliefs and offering a clear path to faith for readers.
Dr. Deyton emphasizes that the wisdom within these pages is not theoretical but comes from his own life experiences, successes, failures, and the lessons learned as a father. His hope is that readers will apply these lessons to their lives to avoid some of the pitfalls others have made before them.
Dr. L. Lavon Gray, CEO of Blue Hen Agency, wrote the foreword, stating that Dr. Deyton's words are "lived truths" and offer a "compass to guide graduates forward with confidence and clarity." Attorney Scott Copeland called the book "a cheat code to a better life."
Dr. Deyton is an adjunct faculty member of the South Carolina School of the Arts at Anderson University and currently resides in Taylors, South Carolina, with his wife. He holds degrees from the University of South Carolina, The University of West Georgia, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, including a doctorate in conducting. Over his career, he has taught every level from middle school through graduate school. He has also served on the staff of several churches, owned a business, and maintained an active professional music career.
Dr. Deyton and his wife have two sons and a daughter-in-law. Their oldest son works as an accountant with a private equity group in Nashville, where their daughter-in-law teaches. Their youngest son recently graduated from college and serves on staff at his church.
