This package constitutes an interactive R problem set based on the RTutor package (https://github.com/skranz/RTutor).

This RTutor problem set renders possible to replicate the main findings in "Is your Lawyer a Lemon? Incentives and Selection in the Public Provision of Criminal Defense" by Amanda Agan, Matthew Freedman and Emily Owens.

1. Installation

RTutor and this package is hosted on Github. To install everything, run the following code in your R console.

install.packages("RTutor",repos = c("https://skranz-repo.github.io/drat/",getOption("repos")))

if (!require(devtools))
  install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("KendamaQQ/RTutorLawyers", upgrade_dependencies=FALSE)

2. Show and work on the problem set

To start the problem set first create a working directory in which files like the data sets and your solution will be stored. Then adapt and run the following code.

library(RTutorLawyers)

# Adapt your working directory to an existing folder
setwd("C:/problemsets/RTutorLawyers")
# Adapt your user name
run.ps(user.name="Jon Doe", package="RTutorLawyers",
       auto.save.code=TRUE, clear.user=FALSE)

If everything works fine, a browser window should open, in which you can start exploring the problem set.
