Katherine B. Forrest is an Adjunct Professor at NYU School of Law, where she co-teaches the Quantitative Methods Seminar in collaboration with an economics professor from NYU. With a robust background in quantitative methods and legal analysis, she focuses on employing empirical research techniques to examine critical issues within the legal realm, particularly in areas such as employment discrimination, criminal justice, and securities regulation. During her tenure as a Federal Court judge for the Southern District of New York, she honed her skills in evaluating complex legal matters, allowing her to bring real-world insights into her academic teachings. The seminar not only emphasizes theoretical understanding but also practical applications, empowering students to analyze how quantitative approaches can influence legal policy and advocacy. Besides her academic contributions, her previous role as a judge positions her uniquely to bridge the gap between law and data-driven decision-making in legal contexts.
