Law and Economics Seminar (D. Rub*nfeld, E. Tall*y,)

216 - Law and Economics Workshop (Spring 2008) description This seminar will provide students with an opportunity to discuss ongoing research in the economic analysis of law. At every other session, an invited speaker (from Berkeley or elsewhere) will present work in progress, and then take questions from students and faculty in the audience. Interviewing weeks will involve class discussion of current topics. Speakers include prominent scholars in the field of law and economics from around the nation and the world. A schedule of the speakers is available at the Law & Economics Workshop website (http://repositories.cdlib.org/berkeley_law_econ/).

The seminar is normally offered in the fall and the spring. Enrollment in either or both semesters is permitted. There are no prerequisites, but some familiarity with economic reasoning is required. Law 251.31 (Law, Economics and Business) is especially good background.
