Princeton University Press Accelerating Democracy
Book SynopsisShows how to adapt democracy to advanced information technologies that can enhance political decision making and enable us to navigate the social rapids ahead. This title demonstrates how these technologies combine to address a problem as old as democracy itself - how to help citizens better evaluate the consequences of their political choices.Trade Review"[McGinnis] shines an important light on a discussion that will only grow more lively as technology creates at once more opportunities and more challenges for government."--Foreign Affairs "You can support or dismiss his proposals, but you cannot deny that the author makes a major effort to bring forth ingenious measures to really 'accelerate democracy'. Thus, this provocative book is worth reading for everybody interested in improving policymaking, or all those willing to explore new ways to help citizens through a more efficient use of technology."--Ana Polo Alonso, LSE Review of Books "[T]he book is valuable for the stance it takes on the very pressing question of how democracies should adapt to the information revolution. The take-home message for young democracies, no doubt appealing also to many readers of this journal, is that the social sciences deserve as much support as the natural sciences. The more accurately the outcomes of government policies can be predicted, the better the information revolution can be harnessed, and the fewer public funds will be wasted on unrealistic policies. If McGinnis is right, then the heyday of the social sciences lies right before us."--Christian Gobel, Democratization "The book is a valuable reference for any student of the gradually intertwining fields of democracy and technology since it is a well-written analysis arguing that democratic government is in need of evolution due to rapid technological changes... Its engaging and enquiring style provokes thought on the future of a number of domains, including technology and political regimes."--Nelli Bahayan, Political Studies ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Chapter 1: The Ever Expanding Domain of Computation 9 Chapter 2: Democracy, Consequences, and Social Knowledge 25 Chapter 3: Experimenting with Democracy 40 Chapter 4: Unleashing Prediction Markets 60 Chapter 5: Distributing Information through Dispersed Media and Campaigns 77 Chapter 6: Accelerating AI 94 Chapter 7: Regulation in an Age of Technological Acceleration 109 Chapter 8: Bias and Democracy 121 Chapter 9: De-biasing Democracy 138 Conclusion: The Past and Future of Information Politics 149 Acknowledgments 161 Appendix 163 Notes 165 Index 203

Rlpg/Galleys No Magic Wand
Book SynopsisSince 1993, Supreme Court precedent has asked judges to serve as gatekeepers to their expert witnesses, admitting only reliable scientific testimony. Seeking a balance between undue deference and undeserved skepticism, this work draws on the philosophy of science to help judges, juries, and advocates better understand its goals and limitations.Trade ReviewLegal actors' understanding of how scientific knowledge is produced is a matter of immense and increasing importance in contemporary society. Caudill and LaRue make a significant contribution to this debate by drawing on science studies research as a prophylactic against the temptation to adopt idealized or "romantic," as they call them, images of scientific activity. No Magic Wand demonstrates that bringing a science studies perspective to bear on legal problems leads, not to meaningless relativism, but to a profoundly pragmatic approach to assessing the value of knowledge claims that invoke the mantle of science. -- Simon A. Cole, author of Suspect Identities: A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal IdentificationNo Magic Wand is a tour-de-force that bridges the gap between jurisprudence and science studies. Caudill and LaRue successfully illustrate how law idealizes science and the problems this causes for the courts as well as for science. In this "brave new world" after the Supreme Court's decision in Daubert, their solution—that courts view science as a pragmatic activity—will resonate both with scientists and lawyers. Every judge and lawyer grappling with scientific evidence, and every scientist testifying in court, should read this book. -- Richard E. Redding, Villanova University School of LawCaudill and LaRue have written an erudite, deeply considered, and highly readable account of the tension between the two cultures of law and science, the tendency of lawyers and judges to oscillate between credulity and dismissiveness when confronted by scientific testimony, and the need in short for legal professionals to acquire a more accurate understanding of the strengths and limitations of science in the legal process. -- Richard A. Posner, U.S. Circuit JudgeOn the whole, No Magic Wand is readable and interesting. It is useful in that it provides specific examples from cases to show how various judges have interpreted the Daubert criteria. The book will be more useful to those less familiar with the problems associated with using scientific evidence in the courtroom. * Journal of Law & Politics *In No Magic Wand, Caudill and LaRue impart valuable wisdom for the beginner as well as the advanced legal scholar. Coverage ranges from the basics — the current tests for scientific and technical evidence — to the most sophisticated questions raised by commentators on forensic jurisprudence. The debate over how much courts should defer to experts is a key issue in the "science wars," and the treatment of it in Chapter Three is trenchant and profound. This book is a must read for lawyers, professors, or judges who are seeking to come to grips with the scientific processes in the courtroom. -- Ronald L. Carlson, Fuller E.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers No Magic Wand The Idealization of Science in Law
Book SynopsisSince 1993, Supreme Court precedent has asked judges to serve as gatekeepers to their expert witnesses, admitting only reliable scientific testimony. Lacking a strong background in science, however, some judges admit dubious scientific testimony packages by articulate practitioners, while others reject reliable evidence that is unreasonably portrayed as full of holes. Seeking a balance between undue deference and undeserved skepticism, Caudill and LaRue draw on the philosophy of science to help judges, juries, and advocates better understand its goals and limitations.Trade ReviewLegal actors' understanding of how scientific knowledge is produced is a matter of immense and increasing importance in contemporary society.

Book SynopsisA gripping insight into the digital debate over data ownership, permanence and policyThis is going on your permanent record! is a threat that has never held more weight than it does in the Internet Age, when information lasts indefinitely. The ability to make good on that threat is as democratized as posting a Tweet or making blog. Data about us is created, shared, collected, analyzed, and processed at an overwhelming scale. The damage caused can be severe, affecting relationships, employment, academic success, and any number of other opportunitiesand it can also be long lasting. One possible solution to this threat? A digital right to be forgotten, which would in turn create a legal duty to delete, hide, or anonymize information at the request of another user. The highly controversial right has been criticized as a repugnant affront to principles of expression and access, as unworkable as a technical measure, and as effective as trying to put the cat back in the bag. Ctrl+Z breaks dowTrade ReviewCtrl + Zargues powerfully that we should all take the advice of Googles Eric Schmidt and be more careful about how we interact with one another online. * Financial Times *[A] groundbreaking comparative work. * Harvard Law Review *The legal and moral implications require a rethinking of much of what we take for granted, and Jones is plugged in to many of the conversations. * Inside Higher Ed *Meg Leta Jones is the preeminent American scholar of the Right to Be Forgotten, a concept born in Europe. This fascinating book is a must-read for anyone, American or European alike, vexed about what to do (or not to do) about the persistence of memory online. -- Paul Ohm,Georgetown UniversityThe so-called 'right to be forgotten' has become a firestorm of controversy in todays Digital Age. Should individuals have a right to have data about themselves deleted or made more obscure? With great thoughtfulness and insight, Meg Leta Joness Ctrl + Z explores the right to be forgotten, avoiding the exaggerations and dispelling the myths that often appear in debates about the issue. Fascinating and accessible, Ctrl + Z addresses all dimensions of the right to be forgottenthe law of different countries, the nature of the technology, and the arguments on each side. The result is a truly unforgettable book that grapples with the right to be forgotten with great nuance and erudition. -- Daniel J. Solove,John Marshall Harlan Research Professor of Law, George Washington UniversityIn language accessible to non-specialists, enriched by an interdisciplinary outlook and a plethora of examples and case law, Jones draws on legal cultures, international feasibility and interoperability and detailed information about the information about the information life cycle, and argues that both approaches, favouring and opposing the right to be forgotten, take only a partial view on the matter. -- Stefania Milan * Times Higher Education *[T]he books strength is its ability to inspire, and that is what makesCtrl + Za pleasure to read. In proposing the idea of information stewardship, it may give us some guidance towards a solution to this complex and controversial policy issue. * The London School of Economics' "United States Politics and Policy" blog *A crucial question in the digital age is whether society will reclaim our ability to forget. The right to be forgotten raises important questions of free speech, privacy, reputation, and dignity. Jones's book wrestles with these questions with rigor.

New York University Press Ctrl Z
Book SynopsisA gripping insight into the digital debate over data ownership, permanence and policyThis is going on your permanent record! is a threat that has never held more weight than it does in the Internet Age, when information lasts indefinitely. The ability to make good on that threat is as democratized as posting a Tweet or making blog. Data about us is created, shared, collected, analyzed, and processed at an overwhelming scale. The damage caused can be severe, affecting relationships, employment, academic success, and any number of other opportunitiesand it can also be long lasting. One possible solution to this threat? A digital right to be forgotten, which would in turn create a legal duty to delete, hide, or anonymize information at the request of another user. The highly controversial right has been criticized as a repugnant affront to principles of expression and access, as unworkable as a technical measure, and as effective as trying to put the cat back in the bag. Ctrl+Z breaks dowTrade ReviewCtrl + Zargues powerfully that we should all take the advice of Googles Eric Schmidt and be more careful about how we interact with one another online. * Financial Times *[A] groundbreaking comparative work. * Harvard Law Review *The legal and moral implications require a rethinking of much of what we take for granted, and Jones is plugged in to many of the conversations. * Inside Higher Ed *Meg Leta Jones is the preeminent American scholar of the Right to Be Forgotten, a concept born in Europe. This fascinating book is a must-read for anyone, American or European alike, vexed about what to do (or not to do) about the persistence of memory online. -- Paul Ohm,Georgetown UniversityThe so-called 'right to be forgotten' has become a firestorm of controversy in todays Digital Age. Should individuals have a right to have data about themselves deleted or made more obscure?

Fascinating and accessible, Ctrl + Z addresses all dimensions of the right to be forgottenthe law of different countries, the nature of the technology, and the arguments on each side. The result is a truly unforgettable book that grapples with the right to be forgotten with great nuance and erudition. -- Daniel J. Solove,John Marshall Harlan Research Professor of Law, George Washington UniversityIn language accessible to non-specialists, enriched by an interdisciplinary outlook and a plethora of examples and case law, Jones draws on legal cultures, international feasibility and interoperability and detailed information about the information about the information life cycle, and argues that both approaches, favouring and opposing the right to be forgotten, take only a partial view on the matter. -- Stefania Milan * Times Higher Education *[T]he books strength is its ability to inspire, and that is what makesCtrl + Za pleasure to read. In proposing the idea of information stewardship, it may give us some guidance towards a solution to this complex and controversial policy issue. * The London School of Economics' "United States Politics and Policy" blog *A crucial question in the digital age is whether society will reclaim our ability to forget. The right to be forgotten raises important questions of free speech, privacy, reputation, and dignity. Jones's book wrestles with these questions with rigor.

Stanford University Press Data Cartels: The Companies That Control and
Book SynopsisIn our digital world, data is power. Information hoarding businesses reign supreme, using intimidation, aggression, and force to maintain influence and control. Sarah Lamdan brings us into the unregulated underworld of these "data cartels", demonstrating how the entities mining, commodifying, and selling our data and informational resources perpetuate social inequalities and threaten the democratic sharing of knowledge. Just a few companies dominate most of our critical informational resources. Often self-identifying as "data analytics" or "business solutions" operations, they supply the digital lifeblood that flows through the circulatory system of the internet. With their control over data, they can prevent the free flow of information, masterfully exploiting outdated information and privacy laws and curating online information in a way that amplifies digital racism and targets marginalized communities. They can also distribute private information to predatory entities. Alarmingly, everything they're doing is perfectly legal. In this book, Lamdan contends that privatization and tech exceptionalism have prevented us from creating effective legal regulation. This in turn has allowed oversized information oligopolies to coalesce. In addition to specific legal and market-based solutions, Lamdan calls for treating information like a public good and creating digital infrastructure that supports our democratic ideals. Trade Review"Lamdan offers a timely, ambitious, and original contribution about a set of issues that are of vital importance to the study of technology, law, and society."—Anil Kalhan, Drexel University Thomas R.

Her bold approach breaks down the barrier and serves as a metaphorical lighthouse to our work. It gives us a reason to recommend her book to library advocates so that they can realize how these companies are operating in the informational capitalism age. This book should be required reading for all librarians who advocate that information is power."—Edward Junhao Lim, Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship"This book needs to be adopted as part of the canon of the profession.

Stanford University Press Rules of the Road: The Automobile and the
Book SynopsisA thorough and engaging look at an unexpected driver of changes in the American criminal justice system Driving is an unavoidable part of life in the United States. Even those who don't drive much likely know someone who does. More than just a simple method of getting from point A to point B, however, driving has been a significant influence on the United States' culture, economy, politics – and its criminal justice system. Rules of the Road tracks the history of the car alongside the history of crime and criminal justice in the United States, demonstrating how the quick and numerous developments in criminal law corresponded to the steadily rising prominence, and now established supremacy, of the automobile. Spencer Headworth brings together research from sociology, psychology, criminology, political science, legal studies, and histories of technology and law in illustrating legal responses to changing technological and social circumstances. Rules of the Road opens by exploring the early 20th-century beginnings of the relationship between criminal law and automobility, before moving to the direct impact of the automobile on prosecutorial and criminal justice practices in the latter half of the 20th century. Finally, Headworth looks to recent debates and issues in modern-day criminal justice to consider what this might presage for the future. Using a seemingly mundane aspect of daily life as its investigative lens, this creative, imaginative, and thoroughly researched book provides a fresh perspective on the transformations of the U.S. criminal justice system.Trade Review"Rules of the Road provides a comprehensive, and necessary, account of the automobile's inextricable connection to the U.S. criminal legal system. It also challenges us to reimagine that relationship and our society's car dependence. This book is an essential read for anyone who cares about transforming policing, criminal laws, and American justice."—Sarah Seo, Columbia Law School"This deeply researched book elegantly lays out how cars and roads reflect broader social and legal choices about belonging, governance, punishment, and surveillance. After reading Rules of the Road, you will see the automobile everywhere and at every stage in the criminal legal system – even though it's always been hiding in plain sight."—Sarah Lageson, Rutgers University-Newark"Drawing on a wide array of secondary literature, the book's provocative discussion of the automobile's pervasive and profound impacts on the United States will likely appeal to readers interested in any of the interconnected issues of crime and punishment, individual independence, equality of opportunity, mobility, public health and spaces, the environment, and social justice."—Thomas J.

Stanford University Press Hereditary: The Persistence of Biological
Book SynopsisSince the 1990s, a growing number of criminal courts around the world have been using expert assessments based on behavioral genetics and neuroscience to evaluate the responsibility and dangerousness of offenders. Despite this rapid circulation, however, we still know very little about the scientific knowledge underlying these expert evaluations. Hereditary traces the historical development of biosocial criminology in the United States from the 1960s to the present, showing how the fate of this movement is intimately linked to that of the field of criminology as a whole. In claiming to identify the biological and environmental causes of so-called "antisocial" behaviors, biosocial criminologists are redefining the boundary between the normal and the pathological. Julien Larregue examines what is at stake in the development of biosocial criminology. Beyond the origins of delinquency, Larregue addresses the reconfiguration of expertise in contemporary societies, and in particular the territorial struggles between the medical and legal professions. For if the causes of crime are both biological and social, its treatment may call for medical as well as legal solutions.Trade Review"Biological theories of 'antisocial behavior' have made a stunning comeback in scholarship and insinuated themselves in the criminal courts. Hereditary delves deep into their academic and intellectual histories to tell us how and why. It is an absolute must-read for reflexive criminologists, sociologists of knowledge and anthropologists of crime and expertise."—Loïc Wacquant, author of The Invention of the "Underclass"

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The EU and Nanotechnologies: A Critical Analysis
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the role of law in confronting major societal transformations embodied by the emergence of nanotechnologies. Taking the case of the European Union, it explores who the key decision-makers in the regulation of nanotechnologies are and how they take decisions. The questions are explored through two distinct case studies: the food and chemicals sectors. The book charts an incremental retreat of the European Union to its executive powers, including ‘soft law’ measures such as agencies’ guidelines or implementing measures. This, the author argues, results in the Union’s fundamental democratic control mechanisms, the EU legislature and the Court of Justice of the EU, being circumvented. The book recommends several immediate proposals to reform EU risk regulation, advocating a greater reliance on the European Parliament and outlining measures to increase the transparency of guidance drafting by EU agencies. This important work provides a timely examination of how emerging technologies pose both regulatory and democratic challenges.Trade ReviewI recommend the book to academics in the fields of law and social sciences as well as to practitioners with an interest in EU’s handling of new technologies and in EU policy design in general. Specifically, the book presents an abundant source of case material highlighting the desirability of a single legal framework for EU administrative procedure. -- Professor Stephan Meyer * European Journal of Risk Regulation *Table of Contents1.

Rowman & Littlefield The Walled Garden: Law and Privacy in Modern
Book SynopsisPrivacy, in human history, is a relatively recent concept. Nobody had much privacy in the Middle Ages. Even kings and queens lacked privacy: it was an age when crowds watched a queen give birth, and the king received visitors while on the chamber pot. Technology and concepts of privacy grew up together—as both friends and enemies. For example, the late 19th century invention of the candid camera made it possible, for the first time, to take someone’s picture without that person’s consent. This fact was in the background of the classic article by Warren and Brandeis that launched the right of privacy. Today, we have smart phones with cameras, selfies, the Internet, surveillance cameras, and tools that can look through walls, smell through walls, see through walls. Dangers to privacy have multiplied enormously, and we have only just begin figuring how to handle the change.This book is timely as our basic understandings of privacy are challenged by modern technology, changing social mores, and evolving legal understandings that both reflect and reinforce underlying changes in society. It is likely to be of interest to graduate and undergraduate students, scholars, and potentially other professionals with an interest in law and social norms. Trade ReviewThis is a wonderfully ambitious and remarkably comprehensive book that examines multiple aspects of privacy. By tracing the meaning of privacy in contexts ranging from public nudity to airport security to revenge porn, and offering a comparative perspective, the book compellingly shows that privacy is a social and cultural concept. The authors have written an admirable overview of historical and contemporary interpretations of privacy with a provocative thesis. -- Naomi R. Cahn, University of Virginia School of LawThe Walled Garden provides a fascinating exploration of how the law shapes and is shaped by evolving cultural understandings of privacy. As Lawrence M. Friedman and Joanna L. Grossman make clear in this engaging book, America’s willingness to protect privacy, or tolerate invasions, has fluctuated over time and across contexts. You will never think about keeping a secret, posing for a photograph, or walking down the street the same way again. -- Jill Elaine Hasday, University of Minnesota Law School, author of Intimate Lies and the LawTable of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Mandatory PrivacyChapter 1: The Tiger’s Cage Chapter 2: Aesthetics and the BodyChapter 3: Speak No Evil, See No Evil: Forbidden Words and Speech Chapter 4: The Privilege of Silence Part II: Elective PrivacyChapter 5: I Want to Be Alone: Privacy and ChoiceChapter 6: They Led Two Lives Chapter 7: In the Closet Chapter 8: The Eyes that Never Sleep: Surveillance and SocietyPart III: The Flight from PrivacyChapter 9: Public and Private: Celebrities and the Rest of UsChapter 10: Privacy in the Modern Age

Rowman & Littlefield Scientific Freedom: The Heart of the Right to
Book SynopsisScientists are supposed to have freedom to choose and conduct their experiments and exchange their ideas. Known as scientific freedom, this idea has been implicated in both wonderful and terrible scientific discoveries. Although it is not new, it has great relevance to contemporary society. In a time of genetic editing, global warming, and a worldwide pandemic, the question of how freely science is and should be conducted is one that has significant practical consequences. Drawing on rigorous interdisciplinary methods, this book defines the concept of scientific freedom, tells its story, and asks on what basis scientific freedom is best justified. Based on international human rights law and philosophy, the authors develop a model of scientific freedom as a constitutive element of the human right to enjoy the benefits of the progress of science and its applications. To illustrate its usefulness, they then test and apply this model to a real-life and real-time case study, as well as to two highly important international human rights instruments.Table of ContentsOpening Vignette: Artificial Intelligence and IntroductionPART ONE: Setting the Scene and Providing the Necessary Historical BackgroundChapter 1: Historical Background and Key Concepts And DefinitionsChapter 2: A Systematic Review of The Scholarly Literature On Scientific Freedom: Methods And ResultsChapter 3: Taking Human Right to the Next Level: The Right to Science, History and ContentChapter 4: Scientific Freedom: How Does It Relate to Scientific Dissemination and International Co-Operation?PART TWO: SAFIRES: A Conceptual Model of Scientific Freedom Obligations under International Human Rights LawChapter 5: The SAFIRES (Scientific and Academic Freedom as Integral elements of the Right to Enjoy the benefits of Science) ModelChapter 6: The Scope of ’Science’ and ‘Scientific Freedom’ in Three Human Rights Instruments PART THREE: Working with Scientific Freedom And The Right To Science In PracticeChapter 7: On Drafting the General Comment on Science (2013-2020): A Personal Account, Mikel MancisidorChapter 8: Litigating the Right to Science before the CESCR: the View from the Trenches, Cesare P.R.

Melville House Publishing Habeas Data: Privacy vs. the Rise of Surveillance
Book SynopsisA book about what the Cambridge Analytica scandal shows: That surveillance and data privacy is every citizens’ concernAn important look at how 50 years of American privacy law is inadequate for the today's surveillance technology, from acclaimed Ars Technica senior business editor Cyrus Farivar.Until the 21st century, most of our activities were private by default, public only through effort; today anything that touches digital space has the potential (and likelihood) to remain somewhere online forever. That means all of the technologies that have made our lives easier, faster, better, and/or more efficient have also simultaneously made it easier to keep an eye on our activities. Or, as we recently learned from reports about Cambridge Analytica, our data might be turned into a propaganda machine against us. In 10 crucial legal cases, Habeas Data explores the tools of surveillance that exist today, how they work, and what the implications are for the future of privacy.

American Bar Association The ABA Cybersecurity Handbook: A Resource for
Book Synopsis“Cybersecurity remains a top concern in the legal profession. A data breach is a question of when, not if. Lawyers must take steps to protect their own security and privacy, as well as that of their clients. The ABA Cybersecurity Handbook is a vital desk-side resource to help lawyers understand the nature of the threat, protect their practices and their clients’ confidential information and intellectual property, and comply with ever-changing legal rules.” —Reggie Turner, President, American Bar Association This third edition of The ABA Cybersecurity Handbook updates and expands upon the issues raised in the first two editions. The cybersecurity landscape has undergone seismic changes since the publication of the second edition in 2017. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new levels of technology integration to the practice of law, accompanied by new and expanded cybersecurity risks. Beyond the legal profession, the SolarWinds, Kaseya, and Colonial Pipeline breaches have set new and alarming precedents. Heightened cybersecurity risk worldwide has prompted increased responses from the US federal government and from the international community. Amid these ongoing developments, the Handbook is at your fingertips as a guide to preparing for and responding to cybersecurity threats and incidents. The foundational information it shares will remain relevant even in a changing environment. The recommendations within each chapter, located at the end, provide an easy guide for developing and implementing an effective cybersecurity program, including building the understanding of lawyers’ legal and ethical obligations to provide effective provide data security. The Handbook covers a wide array of topics and provides a comprehensive look not only at the threat developments of the past few years, but also at the trends that have been established in cybersecurity. The Handbook addresses concerns and provides recommendations for several different types of legal practices—small firms and large ones, government lawyers and in-house counsel. Overall best practices are developed and shared throughout the Handbook. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, the Handbook will be an indispensable reference for you and your practice.

Counterpoint A Human Algorithm: How Artificial Intelligence Is
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking narrative on the urgency of ethically designed AI and a guidebook to reimagining life in the era of intelligent technology.The Age of Intelligent Machines is upon us, and we are at a reflection point. The proliferation of fast–moving technologies, including forms of artificial intelligence akin to a new species, will cause us to confront profound questions about ourselves. The era of human intellectual superiority is ending, and we need to plan for this monumental shift.A Human Algorithm: How Artificial Intelligence Is Redefining Who We Are examines the immense impact intelligent technology will have on humanity. These machines, while challenging our personal beliefs and our socioeconomic world order, also have the potential to transform our health and well–being, alleviate poverty and suffering, and reveal the mysteries of intelligence and consciousness. International human rights attorney Flynn Coleman deftly argues that it is critical that we instill values, ethics, and morals into our robots, algorithms, and other forms of AI. Equally important, we need to develop and implement laws, policies, and oversight mechanisms to protect us from tech’s insidious threats.To realize AI’s transcendent potential, Coleman advocates for inviting a diverse group of voices to participate in designing our intelligent machines and using our moral imagination to ensure that human rights, empathy, and equity are core principles of emerging technologies. Ultimately, A Human Algorithm is a clarion call for building a more humane future and moving conscientiously into a new frontier of our own design.“[Coleman] argues that the algorithms of machine learning––if they are instilled with human ethics and values––could bring about a new era of enlightenment.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on Behavioral Law and Economics
Book Synopsis'In order to use law to improve social welfare, scholars and policy makers need to be able to predict how people will respond to the legal change. To do so, they must understand when and how decisions are affects by systematic biases and heuristics, including how people respond to changes in either the legal or institutional environment. In this path-breaking volume, Professors Teitelbaum and Zeiler have assembled leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to enrich our understanding of human decision-making and analyze the implications of behavioral analysis for a wide range of legal issues, including antitrust, consumer finance, criminal law, torts, and property. This book will be enormously valuable for students, scholars and policy makers.'- Jennifer Arlen, New York University, School of Law, US The field of behavioral economics has contributed greatly to our understanding of human decision making by refining neoclassical assumptions and developing models that account for psychological, cognitive, and emotional forces. The field?s insights have important implications for law. This Research Handbook offers a variety of perspectives from renowned experts on a wide-ranging set of topics including punishment, finance, tort law, happiness, and the application of experimental literatures to law. It also includes analyses of conceptual foundations, cautions, limitations and proposals for ways forward.The leading scholars of law, economics, and psychology featured in this Research Handbook use their insights to synthesize and contribute to the extant research at the intersection of behavioral economics and key areas of law, and to demonstrate methods for effective original research. With synthetic literature reviews and original research, conceptual overviews and critical perspectives, as well as topic-specific chapters, it provides a strong overview of this burgeoning field.Law and economics scholars, behavioral law scholars, and behavioral economists and psychologists dealing with law, judgement and decision-making will appreciate this Research Handbook?s dedication to applicable research, and judges, lawmakers, policy advocates and regulators will note its important practical implications for law and public policy.Contributors include: S.

Book SynopsisThe Threats of Algorithms and A.I. to Civil Rights, Legal Remedies, and American Jurisprudence: One Nation under Algorithms addresses the many threats to American jurisprudence caused by the growing use of algorithms and artificial intelligence (A.I.). Although algorithms prove valuable to society, that value may also lead to the destruction of the foundations of American jurisprudence by threatening constitutional rights of individuals, creating new liabilities for business managers and board members, disrupting commerce, interfering with long-standing legal remedies, and causing chaos in courtrooms trying to adjudge lawsuits.
