Janice Nadler’s primary research interests lie at the intersection of law and psychology. Her work has appeared in leading journals such as the Cornell Law Review, the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Law & Human Behavior, and Law & Society Review. She has conducted empirical studies on how victim impact information affects judgments about criminal responsibility, how law influences behavior apart from sanctions it imposes, and how communication medium shapes the process and outcomes of negotiations. Current projects include the influence of moral character on criminal judgments of blame, and public opinion about health and environmental risks posed by the contemporary food system. She joined the Northwestern faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2000. She is also a Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation, one of the world’s leading research institutes for the empirical and interdisciplinary study of law.
