Cognitive Legal Humanities

Critical Analysis of Law 10: 1 (2023) is a special issue, Cognitive Legal Humanities:

Whereas cognitive legal studies has attracted a considerable amount of attention from law professors over the past few decades, Cognitive Legal Humanities (CLH) is only starting to gain traction. CLH brings together work in the cognitive sciences, the humanities, and law, focusing not so much on the prescriptive concerns that often animate research in cognitive legal studies, but on ways of enriching that vein of work—and legal scholarship more generally—by bringing the methods and materials of the humanities to bear on questions involving intention, consciousness, perception, memory, reasoning, attention, and emotion in relation to legal issues.
Maksymilian Del Mar and Simon Stern's introduction to the special issues is here.
