Program in Law and Social Science
Texas A&M University School of Law’s Program in Law and Social Science promotes the application of social science and empirical methods to the study of law and legal institutions. The faculty affiliated with the program use economics, psychology, political science, and other social science research and methods to analyze the legal system and public policy. Professors Nuno Garoupa, Gary Lucas and Milan Markovic are co-conveners of the Program.
The Program sponsors a seminar on law and social science. The seminar brings distinguished interdisciplinary scholars to the law school to present their work and to interact with faculty and students.
