Drexel University law professor Adam Benforado’s research and expertise in cognitive psychology seeks to uncover the subtly hidden ways our legal system is affected by the vast and intricate architectures of our mental processes and prejudices. In addition to publishing scholarly articles on this subject in nearly a dozen legal and scientific journals, Benforado’s op-eds, essays, and letters have appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, The Washington Post, and the New York Times, among a bevy of other periodicals.  Unfair exposes the psychological inequities that undermine the American criminal justice system and proposes overhauls that will uphold our ideals and protect our weakest citizens.
