Thirty new entrants to the field, some of whom are advanced graduate students and some new Ph.D's, will participate in a four-day institute with a faculty of distinguished scholars from the law and social science field, including sociologists of law, psychologists of law, anthropologists of law, political scientists, criminologists, and academic lawyers. Primary attention will be on crossdisciplinary collaboration and on interdisciplinary ways of thinking about research on the nexus between law and society. The grant will support travel and subsistence for thirty participants and ten faculty, as well as the publication of some curricular materials prepared specifically for the institute. ***
