Economics for Lawyers (George Mason)

Economics for Lawyers will provide you with an overview of basic tools involved in microeconomic analysis (including game theory, and some basic financial and statistical concepts), and an application of these tools to various areas of the law, including property, contracts, tort, and antitrust. This course will prepare you to think critically about the economic implications of legal rules. The ability to draw on economic arguments to shape legal arguments will make you more effective advocates.   This is an asynchronous course taught at George Mason University, Scalia School of Law as part of an Online Course Sharing Collaboration.
