Principles of Law and Economics, Third Edition provides a
comprehensive yet accessible guide to the field of law and
economics. With its focus on principles, and use of illustrative
examples, this is the ideal introduction for law students, with or
without prior knowledge of economics. The textbook focuses largely
on the economics of core areas in common law: property, contract
and tort, with additional chapters on criminal law, procedural
matters and family law. This updated third edition also includes a
chapter on the economics of corporate law that addresses the key
issues surrounding the nature of the firm and the incentives
attached to corporate legal structures. Key features include:?
Clear and succinct language used throughout with limited use of
jargon or specialist terms An educational design which is
accessible for use by students of law and economics alike? Economic
analysis and legal principles treated in a self-contained manner
for ease of reference? Legal cases summarized for the benefit of
highlighting relevant economic issues ? A focus on the common law,
including comparative references to civil law? Review questions at
the end of each chapter to encourage further analysis and debate
around key topics. The clear and non-technical approach to the
subject matter makes this a perfect text for law students, or
indeed for students in economics or business studies who are
studying law and economics for the first time.
Teaching the Essentials of Law and Economics covers the core areas
of law and economics, also known as the economic analysis of law,
in non-technical terms with guiding notes throughout the text.
Replete with cases and illustrations, it may be used both as a
lecture guide for instructors, and as a basic text for students.
The author provides an up-to-date and succinct account of the
application of economic analysis to legal doctrines, institutions
and legal reform. Classic cases taken from Anglo-American common
law, with some consideration of civil law, along with more recent
material, are used to illustrate the analysis. The book has a
non-technical, built-in system designed to guide teaching as well
as private study of the material. Professors and instructors
teaching this growing field of inquiry as well as legal scholars
interested in the influence of economics on American law,
economists analyzing the incentive structure of legal systems and
doctrines, public-policy students considering legal reform and
judges and legal personnel seeking a succinct treatment of
economics of law will be indebted to the author for this guide to
Teaching Essentials of Law and Economics.

The key role of "incentives" in family law is considered in this economic approach to family law. The book discusses the possible adverse consequences emanating from faulty legal design, while demonstrating that good family law should provide incentives for consistent and honest behavior. Economists, specialists in the economic analysis of law, and academic lawyers discuss recent advances in specialized studies of marriage, cohabitation, and divorce. This important new work will be of considerable interest to lawyers, policy-makers and economists concerned with family law.
