Title:                            Law & Social Sciences
Program:                     The Law & Social Sciences Program considers proposals that address social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules. The program is inherently interdisciplinary and multi-methodological. Successful proposals describe research that advances scientific theory and understanding of the connections between law or legal processes and human behavior. Social scientific studies of law often approach law as dynamic, made in multiple arenas, with the participation of multiple actors. Fields of study include many disciplines, and often address problems including though not limited to:
Crime, Violence and Punishment
Economic Issues
Governance
Legal Decisionmaking
Legal Mobilization and Conceptions of Justice
Litigation and the Legal Profession
