Featuring Professor Doron Teichman
An event of the American Friends of the Hebrew University, an overview presentation of a wide body of psychological literature documenting the impact of different heuristics and biases on court decisions. Among other things, the talk will discuss how irrelevant factors might impact sentencing decisions and damage awards, how context alters the way judges evaluate the case, and whether factfinders can ignore inadmissible evidence.
This is a free event.
