DWLS Lunch with Prof. Stephen Morse
This afternoon, Daniel Webster Legal Society is sponsoring a luncheon with University of Pennsylvania law professor Stephen Morse. The lunch with take place in the 1930s room of Rockefeller at 12pm and should be a fantastic opportunity for students interested in the intersection of law and psychology, more specifically criminal responsibility, legal defenses, and the uses of neuroscience in law. The lunch is open to students.
Professor Morse is an expert in criminal and mental health law. His work focuses on individual responsibility in criminal and civil law. Morse has received degrees in both law and psychology at Harvard University and currently teaches at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law as the Ferdinand Wakeman Hubbell Professor of Law and a Professor of Psychology and Law in Psychiatry. Most recently, he published Foundations of Criminal Law, and he is currently working on a book, Desert and Disease: Responsibility and Social Control.
A lecture will also take place at 4:30pm in Rockefeller 3.
