Neuroscience and the Law
I am always on the lookout for creative and interesting Continuing Legal Education seminars. This one clearly fits the bill:
Baylor College of Medicine’s Initiative on Neuroscience and Law is proud to announce its 2008 Conference. This conference showcases talks from experts in several aspects of neurolaw. Topics include responsibility, punishment, prediction, rehabilitation, brain death, genetics, competence, intention, and ethics – all with an eye toward understanding how cutting edge neuroscience will touch the current practice of law.
The conference, which is worth 3.5 hours of CLE credit, will take place on Friday, May 23, 2008, from 1-5 p.m. at Baylor College of Medicine (Room M321) in the Texas Medical Center. One of the speakers for the conference is Daniel Goldberg, a local attorney and former Texas Supreme Court clerk who is currently working on his PhD at the University of Texas Medical Branch while serving as a Research Professor at Baylor's Initiative on Neuroscience and Law and as a Health Policy Fellow at Baylor's Chronic Disease Prevention & Control Research Center (Daniel is also a frequent commenter on health care and health care finance issues on this blog). The preliminary agenda for the conference is here. Check it out.

Eagleman spoke at UH not long ago and it was nothing if not thought provoking. This will be a good one.
