Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law presents Adolescent Brains and Juvenile Justice: New Insights from Neuroscience, Genetics and Addiction Science May 12, 2011. It is sponsored by ASU’s Center for Law, Science & Innovation and Diane Halle Center for Family Justice and by the Law & Neuroscience Project.
New scientific findings regarding the adolescent brain from the fields of neuroscience, genetics and addiction science have the potential to transform the juvenile justice system by providing new evidence relevant to the culpability, deterrence, and rehabilitation potential of juvenile offenders. This evidence, which was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2010 decision in Graham v. Florida, has profound legal, policy and ethical implications for decision-makers.This multidisciplinary conference, the fourth in a series of biennual programs on neuroscience and the law held at the Phoenix federal courthouse, will examine how this new scientific information is currently being used, and could be used in the future, to improve juvenile justice. It will provide a balanced spectrum of scientific, legal and ethical perspectives by leading experts from across the nation.

Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law presents The Biggest Issues for the Smallest Stuff: Regulation and Risk Management of Nanotechnology March 21, 2011. The event is sponsored by the Center for Law, Science & Innovation, in partnership with the law firm of Polsinelli Shughart PC and the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at ASU.
Nanotechnology, the science of the very small, is a rapidly emerging set of technologies being applied in virtually every industry sector, including health care, energy, food, cosmetics, materials, computer and communication technologies, automotive, environmental services and many others. At the same time that nanotechnology is providing many new exciting applications and benefits, it also has the potential to create significant new risks for workers, consumers and the environment. After several years of studying the problem, federal agencies such as EPA, FDA, and NIOSH are now moving forward with more aggressive regulation of nanotechnology, and a variety of other non-regulatory risk management and safety initiatives are being proposed or implemented.
