Officials and citizens care about the effects of legal rules on the economy and society. Economic models of law are powerful instruments for predicting these effects. Predictions are useful in government for making law and policy, and in business for making decisions. This course introduces students to the economic analysis of the law, which is one of the major theoretical perspectives on the study of law in American universities. The areas of law usually covered in class include property, torts, contracts, corporations, civil procedure, and criminal law.
