Dear Friends:
We are thrilled to share the news of the launch of the CLBB NeuroLaw Library. This one-of-a-kind Library is designed to provide accurate and actionable neuroscience to inform law and public policy, debunk junk science, and support equitable and effective outcomes in courts and legislatures. Linked below are a press release and an infographic that summarize its features, and we invite you to browse through its pages (clbbneurolawlibrary.com).
We have released the Library with a comprehensive module on Juvenile and Emerging Adult Justice. Successive releases of new content are planned, starting with an Aging Brains/Elder Fraud Prevention module in December 2024. As funding permits, three other modules will be developed over the next two years: Trauma, Memory and Asylum Law; Sentencing Reform; and Addiction and the Law.
This complex and far-reaching endeavor has been made possible by philanthropic gifts and grants to the Center, along with the vision and work of a gifted team led by forensic psychologist and attorney Stephanie Tabashneck, PsyD, PhD. Stephanie is also the CLBB Fellow at the Petrie-Flom Institute for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School.
The power of the Library will reside in the number of people who learn about it and use its resources – in judges’ chambers, law offices, legislative hearing rooms and in carceral settings. We ask your help in spreading the word through your professional networks. If you happen to use social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X), it would be enormously helpful if you could engage with our content, as that will increase the number of people the Library reaches.
We believe that lives and systems will be impacted as the needle of change slowly advances – a trajectory that the CLBB NeuroLaw Library will accelerate. We will appreciate your advocacy and welcome your comments about this consequential milestone.
With best regards,
