Journal of Empirical Legal Studies

期刊简介：Recognizing that many legal and policy debates hinge on assumptions about the operation of the legal system, the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies (JELS) seeks to encourage and promote the careful, dispassionate testing of these assumptions. A high-quality, interdisciplinary law journal, we fill a gap in the legal and social science literature that has often left scholars, lawyers, and policymakers without basic knowledge of legal systems.
