Description
A search on Google for the words 'neuroscience and litigation' yields 419,000 results and 'neuroscience and arbitration' yields 428,000 results. On the other hand, 'neuroscience and mediation' yields 12,600,000 results. Proponents of neuroscience are convinced that lawyers have a great deal to gain from studying the brain and understanding from a neurobiological perspective how decisions are made by people involved in conflicts and disputes. This session provides an opportunity for lawyers to hear from leading experts on current research of neuroscience and consider how the frontiers of neuroscience are connected with the future of dispute resolution.
