The goal of this institution is to "study how law is practiced and how its practice can be understood by using tools developed in anthropology, psychology, linguistics, and literary theory." Currently Bruner is Senior Research Fellow in Law at NYU.

Famous quotes containing the words legal and/or psychology:
“... whilst you are proclaiming peace and good will to men, Emancipating all Nations, you insist upon retaining absolute power over wives.

“A writer must always try to have a philosophy and he should also have a psychology and a philology and many other things.

—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
