Legal Studies Course Descriptions

The program in Economic and Legal Studies is offered jointly by the Department of Legal Studies and the Department of Economics. Economics provides a tool for studying how legal rules affect the way people and businesses behave, so that understanding the economic aspects of legal problems has become an important part of a lawyer's education. Similarly, for a person trained as economist knowledge of legal issues has come to be increasingly important.

The Economic and Legal Studies Program requires the completion of a minimum of 26 taught credits and the submission of an MA/LL.M. thesis, which is worth 12 credits. Students are to take a minimum of 14 credits from the Department of Economics and 12 credits from the Legal Studies Department.
