Last month, I attended @aplssc.bsky.social in sunny San Juan! 🌤️ #APLS2025

I presented work showing that humans are worse at judging guilt based on walking style than a computer algorithm trained on the same dataset.

Our PI Jan Antfolk presented research today at #APLS2025 on questions asked in official asylum interviews with sexual minorities. Findings show low use of open questions and reliance on western narratives of sexuality. Further research and training is needed!

Maya Irvin-Vitela will be presenting this work in the Saturday 3/15 datablitz (5pm-6pm) in San Cristobol. This work is from Ciera Arnett's dissertation (Maya helped as a coder!). Interesting work & findings about psychosis, substance use, & insanity. #APLS2025 #Law #Psychology #PsychLaw #CLJLab
"The Legal Intersection of Psychosis and Substance Use: A Mixed-Methods Investigation of Settled Insanity" by Maya Irvin-Vitela, Ciera Arnett, & Tess Neal of the Clinical & Legal Judgment Lab. "The current study" slide that details the primary aims of the two studies comprising this work (case-law analysis of settled insanity cases in the U.S., and an experiment with 310 forensic mental health experts as participants). This work was preregistered and materials, data, and code are available on the OSF. Case Law Review results showing that coders with clinical science training found about 30% of the cases reviewed as having some viability for settled insanity defense from a clinical science viewpoint, contrasted with the actual legal outcome of these cases in which just one case (2% of the sample) actually had a successful settled insanity claim. Results from experiment with forensic mental health experts, showing that mental health experts generally saw settled insanity as redundant to traditional insanity. Findings across the two studies showed legal and mental health professionals agree that acute, voluntary substance intoxication at the time of a crime generally precludes the use of an insanity defense...but cases where substance use is more distal are more complicated.

Day 2 of #APLS2025 - trust, trust, and more trust! Plus a session on research & training centers featuring a presentation by the always amazing Eve Brank on my former home, Center on Children, Families & the Law. Ending the day with my personal fave at APLS - the Nebraska party. Go big red!
