The course examines the scientific value and methodology of
economic analysis as a way of understanding the structure
and evolution of the legal system. Selected rules and
institutional forms drawn from the common law of tort,
property, contract and crime are studied as evolved
responses to particular kinds of market failures; scholarly
sources in both law and economic theory are used extensively
throughout the course.
MAJOR READINGS
All readings on reserve. Drawn from
economic sources (authors such as R. H. Coase, and F. A.
Hayek) as well as legal and judicial writing. Substantial
readings in case law.
Textbooks: To be determined.

Three graded essays, each 6-8
pages. No final examination.
