THIS SEMINAR exploreS deep questions about the law-and-economics school of legal thought. IT probeS its foundations in the grand battle between formalism and realism. THE CLASS compareS THE LAW-AND-ECONOMICS SCHOOL with its sibling that was born from the same battle: critical theory. IT examineS the important differences among the main variants of the law-and-economics school, including the Chicago school and the Yale school. IT frameS this exploration by closely reading a curated set of key excerpts from a canonical, cutting-edge text written by one of the field’s founders: Guido Calabresi’s The Future of Law and Economics.
