Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2309 Why do rational people follow fixed rules (laws) instead of doing what is best for them in a specific situation? Can there be order without law? Should the government compensate people when it issues environmental and wildlife protection regulations which reduce the value of their property? The lady who burned herself with a cup of McDonald's coffee won several million dollars in compensation. Does that make sense? We apply economic analysis to these and many other questions in the areas of property law, contracts, torts, and legal procedure. ; Prerequisite(s): ECON 104, 105, or 106 Div: I; Social Science, B: Analysis of the Social World, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (Hav: SO, B, A) |
