Program in Economics and the Law
The law and economics movement represents the most significant methodological innovation within legal scholarship in recent decades. The Program in Economics and the Law at the James M. Buchanan Center builds on the legacy of the law and economics tradition at George Mason University.
Under the direction of Professor Charles K. Rowley, the Program is designed to enhance the understanding of the economic nature of the law, organizing public lectures and research workshops on a wide variety of law and economics topics.
All presentations will be held from 4-30pm - 6pm at the George Mason University School of Law in Arlington, Virginia.
