I'm Ben Pyle, an Associate Professor Boston University school of Law. I'm a lawyer and economist focused on empirical legal studies.
My primary research goal is to inform legal practices to improve outcomes after contact with the criminal justice system and to reduce the disparities the legal system generates. I am particularly focused on the relationship between the criminal justice system and employment. Seeking to improve post-conviction outcomes has led me to research policies upstream from a conviction within criminal law and downstream within employment law.
