"With characteristic brilliance, Mark Kelman canvasses the psychological literature on heuristic decision making and explores its implications for law and policy. This book won't end the 'heuristics debate,' but it will situate that debate in a fresh and more revealing light."--Douglas A. Kysar, Professor of Law, Yale Las School, and author of Regulating from Nowhere: Environmental Law and the Search for Objectivity"Social science evidence of the way heuristic judgments affect individual decision making has been the basis of the most important developments in legal thought in the 21st Century. In this remarkable book, Mark Kelman, one of the legal academy's deepest and sharpest thinkers, incisively reviews, synthesizes, and critiques the major scholarly trends and tells us what they mean for the way we should think about criminal law, the regulation of markets, andjurisprudence. It is a "must read" for anyone who cares about public policy, legal theory, or intellectual history."--Russel Korobkin, Professor of Law, University of California-Los Angeles School of Law"In The Heuristics Debate, a lively scholarly dispute becomes a window into some of the most compelling intellectual developments in philosophy, cognitive science, economics, and law. Mark Kelman is the ideal author for this project--both for his notable contributions to heuristics research and his valuable perspective as a major legal scholar."--Rob MacCoun, Professor of Law and Public Policy and Affiliated Professor of Psychology, University ofCalifornia-Berkeley
