Psychology and Law Concentration

Current and former students from the University of Wyoming have a chance to get together at the 2006 American Psychology-Law Society conference. Pictured are Chrissy Adams, Jennifer Gray, Suzanne Karis, Andre Kehn, Narina Nunez, and Kami London.

A Psychology and Law concentration is appropriate for students in the Clinical, Developmental, or Social Ph.D. program who are interested in the legal implications of their program of study. Clinical students who  follow this concentration may be interested in such topics as child abuse and trauma, custody evaluations, prevention and treatment of juvenile offenders, or other forensic topics. Developmental students may focus on issues that relate to children and the law. Social students may study such topics as jury decision making, the impact of jury reform on jurors' reasoning, and detection of witness deception.

Students in the Psychology and law concentration are encouraged to take selected law courses from UW's College of Law.

Students who pursue the Psychology and Law concentration are expected to be active members of the Psychology and Law Research Lab.
