Center for Empirical Legal Studies

A major criticism of today's legal scholarship, as exemplified by the types of articles that appear in law reviews and journals across the country, is that there is a lack of scholarship of practical value to practitioners and policymakers. The Wake Forest Law Review seeks to help fill this void by promoting student involvement in the assembly and analysis of data related to the operation of legal systems and legal rules. To that end, the Wake Forest Law Review is proud to present empirical studies and related data sets compiled by its student members.
