Year: 1995
Type: article
Abstract: The relationship between social scientists and the judiciary is less than perfect. 1 Despite the Supreme Court's long tradition of using data gleaned from social science research, the Court has inconsistently adopted and often misused this research to augment its opinions.2 In many cases, the Court has even refused to consider relevant social science data, instead choosing to rely on guidance from the "pages of human experience."
