Synopsis

The materials in this book do not presume any prerequisite level of economic knowledge; the important conceptual tools are introduced gradually and applied to a series of increasingly sophisticated problems. Yet the technical economics involved never rise above a very modest level that is soon amply accessible to anyone who merely perseveres. The cases, problems, and textual matter have been selected to teach those important economic concepts with wide applicability in law. The substantive areas of application are primarily illustrative and do not pretend to survey the depth and breadth of contemporary law and economics scholarship.
