Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law presents Adolescent Brains and Juvenile Justice: New Insights from Neuroscience, Genetics and Addiction Science May 12, 2011. It is sponsored by ASU’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation and Diane Halle Center for Family Justice and by the Law & Neuroscience Project.
New scientific findings regarding the adolescent brain from the fields of neuroscience, genetics and addiction science have the potential to transform the juvenile justice system by providing new evidence relevant to the culpability, deterrence, and rehabilitation potential of juvenile offenders. This evidence, which was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2010 decision in Graham v. Florida, has profound legal, policy and ethical implications for decision-makers.This multidisciplinary conference, the fourth in a series of biennual programs on neuroscience and the law held at the Phoenix federal courthouse, will examine how this new scientific information is currently being used, and could be used in the future, to improve juvenile justice. It will provide a balanced spectrum of scientific, legal and ethical perspectives by leading experts from across the nation.

Berkeley Law hosts The Mindful Lawyer Oct. 29-31, 2010. Sponsors include the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, the University of Buffalo Law School, the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy (Buffalo) the University of San Francisco School of Law, the University of Florida Levin College of Law, CUNY School of Law, and the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice (Berkeley).
The Mindful Lawyer: Practices & Prospects for Law School, Bench, and Bar is a national conference that will bring together the pioneers who have been developing programs integrating meditation and contemplative practices with legal education and practice, and others in the legal profession who are interested in exploring this work.Many law professionals have found that meditation practice has sharpened their legal skills, helped them to manage the stresses of their challenging work, increased their empathy, and deepened their commitment to creating a more just society. The conference will offer a blend of scholarly presentation, practical experience and discussion, and recent developments in neuroscience and psychology relevant to meditation practice. We invite lawyers, law professors, judges, mediators and other dispute resolution professionals, and law students to explore the connections between law and meditation, and to learn and practice meditation.
The Mindful Lawyer conference will begin with an optional half-day meditation retreat on Friday afternoon. The conference officially convenes on Friday evening and runs through mid-afternoon on Sunday.

The University of Mississippi’s Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) and the London School of Economics’ Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science (CNSS) are pleased to host the second Beyond Rationality Workshop July 7-9, 2010.
The Beyond Rationality Workshop series is a project of the CNSS at the London School of Economics in collaboration with the CISS at the University of Mississippi. The first workshop was held in London on November 21, 2009.
The recent banking crisis and the rise of religious fundamentalism as a political cause have prompted people to reflect on the seeming irrationality of thinking relevant to these events. These examples join a host of other occasions when the thoughts and actions of people seem to be irrational. Drawing on the notion that “one person’s irrationality is another’s rationality,” this event explores the boundaries of ‘rationality’ from different points of view as illuminated by philosophical or psychological studies such as akrasia, weakness of will, and formal fallacies.
Beyond Rationality II aims to continue the exploration of the meaning of ideas related to rationality in discussions of contemporary problems such as economic decisions, the recruitment of jihadists, terrorism, the banking crisis, risk assessment, conflict resolution, and the climate change debate.
