Empirical Legal Studies: CELS and CELSE

https://doi.org/10.1515/rle-2018-0007


Empirical Legal Studies are rapidly gaining momentum. The movement is fueled
by the availability of datasets, by technical and statistical progress in processing
this data, and by the emergence and increasing institutionalization of an empiri-
cal legal community. The movement generates an ever increasing stream of high
quality papers. This special issue signals that the Review of Law and Economics
sees itself as an outlet for this literature. The special issue assembles papers that
have been accepted for presentation at the first Conference on Empirical Legal
Studies in Europe, held in June 2016 in Amsterdam, and that have been accepted
as posters for the Conference on Empirical Legal Studies, held in November 2016
at Duke University.
