Law and Economics Seminar

3 units

Most top law schools have a law-and-economics seminar where outside academics present their current research articles. In this seminar, we will read recent working papers by legal academics. Class time will consist of presentations by the article's author, a question and answer period with the author, and then class discussion without the author's presence. The speakers will present both empirical and theoretical research in law-and-economics. Grades are based on class participation (10 percent) and response papers (90 percent). 3 units.
