There are two kinds of knowledge law school teaches: legal rules on
the one hand, and tools for thinking about legal problems on the
other. Although the tools are far more interesting and useful than
the rules, they tend to be neglected in favor of other aspects of
the curriculum. In "The Legal Analyst," Ward Farnsworth brings
together in one place all of the most powerful of those tools for
thinking about law.
From classic ideas in game theory such as the "Prisoner's Dilemma"
and the "Stag Hunt" to psychological principles such as hindsight
bias and framing effects, from ideas in jurisprudence such as the
slippery slope to more than two dozen other such principles,
Farnsworth's guide leads readers through the fascinating world of
legal thought. Each chapter introduces a single tool and shows how
it can be used to solve different types of problems. The
explanations are written in clear, lively language and illustrated
with a wide range of examples.
"The Legal Analyst" is an indispensable user's manual for law
students, experienced practitioners seeking a one-stop guide to
legal principles, or anyone else with an interest in the law.
