Abstract
Abstract The Essay reviews a book on law-pertinent empirical research methods and data, but is mainly devoted to placing the subject of the book in context. The Essay thus (i) supplies a quantitative measure of the progress of the social sciences since the start of the twentieth century; and (ii) reports a regression analysis of data to identify variables that account for the frequency with which articles in general-purpose U.S. law reviews have relied on quantitative evidence. The Essay also considers the incorporation of empirical social science into law schools.
