The undergraduate research lab exposes students to the empirical study of the law and the courts. Rather than learning about substantive law and outcomes, students work on projects that explore the law through an empirical lens. They examine and uncover how the law works, cases are decided, the process of decision-making, how legal professionals function, and what influences the processes and outcomes. Students may work on a current project (listed under the Research Projects tab) or develop their own sub-project. Please get in touch with Dr. Smith (alisa.smith@ucf.edu) for more information.
