Description: A weblog with articles by leading social and cognitive psychologists on the application of research to timely legal and policy issues. Sponsored by the Project on Law and Mind Sciences at Harvard Law School.
Evolutionary Psychology  (37) Experimental Philosophy  (15) Situationist Contributors  (208) (an article by Sara Murphy, Jessica Ranucci, Sean Cuddihy): From the first day we marched into Professor Jon Hanson’s Torts class, it was clear that the course would not follow the traditional 1L torts syllabus. Professor Hanson, who is the Alfred Smart Professor of Law and Director of the Project on Law and the Mind Sciences, is well-known for his unusual course structure and material. He was charged with teaching us Torts last semester, but what we learned transcended the bounds of the traditional 1L curriculum. Professor Hanson teaches what he calls “situationist torts,†an approach to the law based in ideas from the mind sciences. He frames legal issues in terms of the “situation†and “disposition†of the actors involved, and demonstrates how legal institutions overemphasize the role of people’s dispositions (their freely made choices) when understanding and responding to problems. It is through this frame that he took us on an in-depth exploration of the evolution of tort law, from verses in the Torah to the present.
