This course will discuss some of the latest research at the intersection of the fields of law and economics. The research papers will address a wide variety of topics, depending on the speaker’s interests, including the law and economics of contract law, corporate law, intellectual property, tax, or constitutional law. We will invite speakers who are doing some of the most cutting-edge interdisciplinary work in law to present their ongoing work to the seminar. Students will be asked to prepare, in advance, four short reaction papers to the speakers’ work throughout the semester. The requirements for the class are completion of the reaction papers and active participation in the debates over the papers being presented.
Exam Notes: (None) Series of papers or assignments throughout the semester
