The Rhode Center's current work focuses on:

reforming legal services regulation to increase innovation and access to justice;

understanding and shaping the role of technology in law and the courts;

protecting consumers and clients in civil litigation; and

legal education in the 21st century.

About the Research Fellowship:

The fellow will assist in economics research on the civil justice system. The core of the role is empirical work connected to the Center's collaboration with the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. This includes descriptive research using large-scale administrative court data and causal research, including randomized field experiments conducted with the Court. The fellow will help build and clean datasets, run analyses, and prepare results for publication. Strong data skills and attention to detail are essential. Prior experience with court records or applied microeconometrics is helpful but not required.

This position reports to Professor David Engstrom.

Core Duties:

As part of the collaboration between the Rhode Center and the Superior Court of Los Angeles County,use Judge IV methods to study the causal impacts of eviction defaults in Los Angeles. This research will lead to academic publications by the Rhode Center, be highlighted in public-facing reports, and will inform continued interventions with the Court.Work closely and be guided by an experienced research lead but will be expected to work independently as well.

Responsible for the analysis connected to evaluating Phase 1 of a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) reducing barriers for eviction tenants participating in their court. Build the relevant datasets by querying Court case management systems, clean the datasets by constructing the relevant measures, and perform the econometric analysis needed to write the paper evaluating which arm of the RCT helped tenants the most. They will collaborate and be supervised by a PI.

Help build a pipeline to extract data from court documents using R and Python, and assist in this analysis, also conducted in R

In phase 2 of the RCT, assist in building a triage tool that connects eviction tenants to the appropriate resources for them. These resources might include in-person help sessions, online filing tools, or attorneys who can represent them. Help ensure this tool functions properly, both from a data ingestion and algorithmic processing perspective, and is usable for tenants so that they get directed to the right resources.

Create figures and tables that are necessary for disseminating the findings about the eviction access RCT, both for academic submissions and broader consumption.Draft the language describing those results for white papers and the technical sections of academic articles.
