Abstract
It is always risky to speculate about the causes of legal change. In much the same way that all behavior is said to be overdetermined, changes in legal doctrine and procedures have multiple causes associated with them. In this brief Epilogue, however, I want speculate about recent changes in legal doctrines concerning death qualification. As the articles in this special issue have suggested, this process appears to be undergoing constitutional reexamination and critical scrutiny by the courts.1 Some final words about the possible reasons for this reexamination may help to put the preceding articles in a broader context and perhaps provide a few general lessons about the role of social science in legal change.
