Mission

The Center for Law, Brain & Behavior puts the most accurate and actionable neuroscience in the hands of judges, lawyers, policymakers and journalists—people who shape the standards and practices of our legal system and affect its impact on people’s lives. We work to make the legal system more effective and more just for all those affected by the law.

Remembering CLBB Advisory Board Member Joan Heilig Kahn

In July, the Center for Law, Brain, and Behavior lost founding Advisory Board member, Joan Heilig Kahn, after a brief illness. Joan was devoted to CLBB and its mission, offering her wisdom, her energy, and her insight, as well as her home and her vast network of friends and admirers to help us create a more equitable and enlightened justice system. Joan was central to building CLBB and pursuing excellence in our endeavors with her leadership, her philanthropy, and her extraordinary grace. We will miss her terribly, but will carry her spirit with us as we pursue better decisions aligned with neuroscience to create better outcomes aligned with justice.
