2015 Veterans Professional Career Conference, Golden Gate University School Of Law

Veterans Legal Advocacy Center

Golden Gate University’s focus on the need for veteran advocacy and professional development programs began in 2012, after GGU Law’s Dean Rachel Van Cleave lost her friend, late Ambassador Christopher Stevens, in Benghazi. At his memorial, Dean Van Cleave met with student veterans who expressed the challenges student veterans face due to their unique experiences and perspectives. From that day on, Dean Van Cleave sought to help veterans with legal and professional services in order to help them navigate higher education and to transition into professional careers. For the past two years, Dean Van Cleave and GGU have worked with …

It Must Have Been Him: Coherence Effects Within The Legal System, Jonathan N. Carbone

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The present series of studies examine how jurors and public defenders evaluate different pieces of evidence and integrate them into a coherent conclusion within the context of a criminal case. Previous research has shown that in situations where both sides of the case are compelling, decision-makers nevertheless come to highly confident and polarized decisions, called coherence shifts (Simon, 2004). The present research sought to expand on coherence effects, improve upon the methodology of previous studies, and explore potential moderators of coherence. In Study 1, mock jurors (n = 306) read about a criminal case and evaluated multiple pieces of …
