The Law and Psychology Lab is run by Dr. James Lampinen of the Psychology Department at the University of Arkansas. The lab conducts research and publishes articles on missing persons, protecting children from violence, false memories, eyewitness testimony, police interrogations, children's memory, jury decision making, and the relationship between states of consciousness and memory.   We are always looking for bright, hard working students to join the lab.  If you are an undergraduate at another college or university thinking about applying to an Experimental Psychology Grad Program feel free to write me at lampinen@uark.edu.
