Cognitive Legal Studies:
Categorization and Imagination in the Mind of the Law
Symposium in Celebration of the Publication of Professor Steven L. Winter’s book A Clearing in the Forest
(University of Chicago Press, 2001)
October 26 & 27, 2001Developments in cognitive science are transforming our understanding of the mind. Little of this new learning, however, has penetrated discussions and analysis of the law. What does emerge from our learning of the human mind is profoundly different and substantially more complex than the one that engages our everyday thinking about the law. Influential scholars, psychologists and linguists gathered for a two-day conference to offer critical analyses on how studies of the human mind have implications for: Law, legal reasoning, and legal theory; Issues of racial and gender justice; and the relationships between law, culture, and ideology.
Among the panelists joining Professor Steven L. Winter in the Conference were Frank I. Michelman, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School; Jonathan Simon, University of Miami School of Law; George Lakoff, Professor of Linguistics at University of California at Berkeley; Claire A. Hill, Chicago-Kent College of Law; Patricia J. Williams, Columbia University School of Law and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellow; Jeremy Paul, University of Connecticut School of Law; Lawrence Joseph, St. John’s University School of Law; Donald Jones, University of Miami School of Law; and Dan Simon, University of Southern California Law School. Articles from the symposium will be published in the Brooklyn Law Review, Volume 67, #4 (2002). Read More about the symposium (PDF). Read articles.
