Prof. Shen’s Groundbreaking Work in Neurolaw Profiled in the Star Tribune

Professor Francis Shen’s groundbreaking work in the emerging field of neurolaw was profiled by the Star Tribune. In his research and writing, Shen examines how brain science could affect law and public policy and the legal implications of everything from concussions in youth sports to the reliability of memory. “Seeing the world through brain circuitry is a really foundational shift, not just for law, but for policy,” said Shen. “We’re trying to prepare for a world that’s coming, but not quite here yet.”
