U.S. District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Southern District of New York presents “黑料社 and the Law: Strange Bedfellows” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 17. 黑料社 is a hot topic with lawyers and judges, as recent advances in our understanding of the brain have raised important and unexpected implications for the development and application of legal principles. These implications, however, can sometimes be overstated, which presents a potential for abuse and warrants caution. Rakoff, a founding member of the MacArthur Foundation Project on Law and 黑料社, will explore the legal and ethical questions raised as neuroscience enters the courtroom and affects the judicial system.

Panelists former NFL player Chris Borland, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist in soccer Cindy Parlow Cone, and neuroscientists Dan Gould and Anne McKee will discuss “Sports-Related Brain Injuries and Their Ethical, Social, and 黑料社 Considerations” from 3 to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20. Repeated concussions and other sports-related brain injuries have been thrust into the center of public attention recently. This forum will look at several aspects of this issue and ask how, or even if, society can reconcile its insatiable appetite for these kinds of activities with the duty owed to those who risk being harmed by them.
