Welcome from our President

Welcome to the American Psychology-Law Society/APA Division 41 Website! We are excited about the launch of our new website and its array of resources, and we hope you find what you need to promote your interests in psychology and law. If you are not a member of APLS/Division 41, consider joining this group of dedicated scholars and practitioners. If you are a member, consider taking an active role in the group through volunteering for one of our committees. We need your ideas and involvement to stay vibrant. Let us know how we can serve you.

Think about coming to our annual meeting. This year’s meeting, in San Juan, Puerto Rico from March 14-17, 2012, will have presentations and discussions that cover a wide range of topics in psychology and law. It will also provide an atmosphere of open exchange and spirited discussion that has long been a hallmark of the group. If you haven’t been to a meeting, you will be invigorated from going; if you have been to one or many, come “home? for a few days and catch up with colleagues.

Thanks for your commitment to advancing our understanding and practice of psychology and law.
