James Lindgren is a professor of law at Northwestern University. He was a leading critic and investigator of charges of scholarly impropriety against anti-gun scholar Michael Bellesiles. Later, and perhaps because of this history, he was chosen to investigate charges that pro-gun scholar John Lott had invented a study. He concluded both were likely guilty of serious misconduct. Lindgren blogs at the Volokh Conspiracy.
