    Dear Law-Lib,

    Through the collaborative efforts of Cornell and UCLA, there is now
    available a bibliographic database of empirical legal studies and
    scholarship: the ELS Bibliography. It is available at:
    http://www.law.ucla.edu/home/apps/els/ The database is a work-in-progress,
    and we welcome any comments or suggestions that users may have. The
    database allows author, title, and subject searching, as well as limiting
    by year. For more background information on the project, be sure to check
    the database description.

    Empirical legal studies are increasingly important in the legal academy as
    it evolves to become more interdisciplinary. Moreover, empirical legal
    scholarship has direct relevance to the discussions of legal issues in
    today's public and political discourse. Thus, we hope that the ELS
    Bibliography will be a welcome resource.

    Thank you,

    Matt Morrison
