Welcome from our President
Welcome! Please get involved in this vibrant community of people who work at the intersection of psychology and law. This website provides information about the wealth of opportunities available in this field - enjoy surfing it.
Think about coming to our conference in New Orleans, March 6-8, 2014. The meeting provides an invigorating glimpse of new developments in research, law, and policy across a broad array of topics (e.g., forensic assessment, children and the law, jury decision-making, victims and trauma). Students and young professionals can network with those who have made distinguished contributions; practitioners can keep abreast of the latest clinical and legal advances; and all can enjoy a conference and social program they can tailor to their interests. Please consider joining one of our committees to keep AP-LS responsive to members' professional needs, as well as pressing social problems.
