Kaye co-authors piece for Reflections section of 'Jurimetrics'
<p>Professor <a href="http://www.law.asu.edu/Apps/Faculty/Faculty.aspx?individual_id=7">David Kaye</a>, of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, co-authored a piece for the "Reflections" section of <i>Jurimetrics: The Journal of Law, Science, & Technology</i>. </p><separator></separator><p>The piece, co-authored with Joseph Gastwirth, Professor of Statistics and Economics at George Washington University, discusses whether the dearth of female clerks at the U.S. Supreme Court in the 2006-07 term reflects some bias in the clerkship selection process or is instead the result of random variation. The authors use statistical analysis and conclude that the 37-clerk sample size for 2006-07 is so small that it is difficult to detect real changes. Moreover, they contend that the numbers are not so dramatic as to establish that the decline was anything other than random.</p><separator></separator><p>Kaye, an internationally recognized expert on scientific evidence and statistics in law, has taught evidence, law and science, constitutional law, legal philosophy and international human rights law.
