Law Professor Anne E. Mullins<\/a>\u2019s article, “Opportunity in the Age of Alternative Facts” was published in the Summer 2019 Washburn Law Journal<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Article<\/strong> Summary <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotly contested constitutional litigation is increasingly shaped by empirical data. If judges and their clerks had more meaningful opportunities to develop expertise in empirical methodology and cognitive theory, they would be better positioned to (1) evaluate that data, and (2) be aware of any cognitive biases they may bring to that evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
