LAW 741 Introduction to Law and Economics Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Regulatory & Policy ] Business Law: Antitrust & Trade Regulation Why it is relevant for ... [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Economic Policy Analysis : Economics is an essential component of policy studies. This course introduces policy law students to the "law and economics" way of thinking about the legal system, examining first-year law courses like tort law, contract law, property law, criminal law, and civil procedure. General course Description: This course will introduce students to the "law and economics" way of thinking about the legal system. It is designed primarily for students who have little or no prior training in economics and who are unlikely to take more advanced courses in the field (such as the 4 unit Law 528, "Economic Analysis of Law"). This class will meet for five two-hour sessions during the first part of the quarter. We will examine the core bodies of law taught to first-year law students: tort law, contract law, property law, criminal law, and civil procedure. For each of these bodies of law, the economic approach will be described in non-technical terms and then this approach will be used to examine a key case or key issue within that body of law. First-year law students are especially welcome in this course. There are no prerequisites to take this course. Elements used in grading: Final exam (open-book). Course Style: |
