Christine M. Jolls, an expert in the emerging field of behavioral law and economics, has been granted tenure at Harvard Law School (HLS).
Jolls, a 1993 HLS graduate, has served as an HLS assistant professor since 1994.
"I am very honored and happy at the prospect of spending more time here," Jolls said.
HLS Dean Robert C. Clark said that Jolls will bring "cutting-edge research" to HLS.
"Christine Jolls is the leader of a new generation of scholars that incorporate behavioral models into the economic analysis of law," Clark said in a press release.
Dorothy L. Mares, a 2000 graduate of HLS, said Jolls is also a popular teacher.
"She is a very approachable and conscientious professor," Mares said. "She cares a lot about her students."
As a researcher, Jolls has sought to understand more fully how people make decisions so that laws can be better informed.
