Research summary
AI-generated

Victor D. Quintanilla studies access to justice through the lens of social psychology, examining how cognitive biases, stereotypes, and mindsets affect people navigating the legal system. His work focuses on barriers facing self-represented (pro se) litigants, bar exam performance among people of color and first-generation students, and how legal processes can obscure or reinforce racial inequality. He often uses empirical methods to test interventions aimed at making the legal system fairer.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
