By Dan Filler

We're very pleased to welcome Adam Benforado to the Lounge.  Adam is an Assistant Professor at Drexel Law.  He is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School, and is just finishing up his first year teaching here at Drexel. 

Adam's interests range toward situationalism and he is involved with Harvard Law's Project on Law and Mind Sciences.  Before joining us at Drexel, he had co-authored (with Jon Hanson) a trilogy of pieces in the Emory Law Review: The Great Attributional Divide: How Legal Policy Debates Are Shaped by Divergent Views of Human Nature, 57 EMORY L.J. 311 (2008); Naïve Cynicism: Maintaining False Perceptions in Policy Debates, 57 EMORY L.J. 499 (2008); and Legal Academic Backlash: The Response of Legal Theorists to Situationist Insights, 57 EMORY L.J. 1087 (2008).  He and Hanson also published The Costs of Dispositionism: The Premature Demise of Situationist Law and Economics, 64 MD. L. REV. 24 (2005). He now has The Geography of Criminal Law, forthcoming in the Cardozo Law Review, and Frames of Injustice: The Bias We Overlook, forthcoming in the Indiana Law Journal.

He writes a lot - and also blogs at The Situationist. Welcome Adam!
