This volume contains a selection of the most important articles on
the issue of the evolution of the common law. The notion that
evolutionary forces would lead to common law efficiency has been
very influential in the study of the economics of law. Even those
scholars who do not believe that the law is efficient will find it
useful to consider the evolutionary forces identified in this
volume.In an even-handed approach, Professor Rubin has selected not
only articles which advance the hypothesis of efficient evolution,
but also those which claim that the evolutionary process is not
efficient. Further articles show that the process is indeed
sometimes efficient and sometimes not, and identify those
conditions which bring about more of less efficiency in the
evolution of law. This authoritative collection will be useful to
anyone who is concerned with the sources of efficiency and
inefficiency in the law, as well as to scholars pursuing research
in this area.
