LAW 220 Regulatory Economics Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] Public Interest Law: General Why it is relevant for ... [ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Federal Agencies : An important area of public interest law involves practice with or before federal agencies. Many areas of practice involving a federal agency have both public interest and business law components, particularly if the lawyer is working for the regulator rather than the regulated. Students interested in a specific area of business activity and its regulatory oversight should consider courses in the relevant business law area. This course gives a broad overview of the government oversight of highly-regulated industries. General course Description: Law 220 examines public policies for dealing with problems arising in markets in which competitive forces are weak. The focus is on monopolies, oligopolies, cartels, and other environments where market mechanisms are unlikely to produce outcomes that benefit consumers more than the alternatives involving costly government intervention. The two main areas examined are competition policy and economic regulation. Competition policy refers to policies that define certain market behavior as illegal because it is harmful to competition. Economic regulation refers to policies in which government controls prices and/or decides which firms can participate in a market. Other areas of regulation, such as product and workplace safety standards, are not included in this course. This course is cross-listed with the Economics Department (Same as ECON 158). Elements used in grading: Class Participation, Attendance, Written Assignments, Final Paper and Final Exam. Course Style: A Substantive/Statutory course deals with law, theory, and policy in the context of a particular code or statutory scheme. Course Frequency: Varied, check w/ registrar |
