ConferenceOur biannual neurolaw conference showcases talks from experts in several aspects of neurolaw. Topics include responsibility, punishment, prediction, rehabilitation, brain death, genetics, competence, policy-making, and ethics -- all with an eye toward understanding how cutting edge neuroscience will touch the current practice of law.
