| | Law and economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Positive law and economics has also at times purported to explain the development of legal rules, for example the common law of torts, in terms of their economic efficiency. | | | As used by lawyers and legal scholars, the phrase "law and economics" refers to the application of the methods of economics to legal problems. | | | Approaches to the same issues from Marxist and critical theory/Frankfurt School perspectives usually do not identify themselves as "law and economics." For example, research by members of the critical legal studies movement considers many of the same fundamental issues as does work labeled "law and economics". |

| | There are the general courts, which are in charge of civil and criminal law, and the administrative courts, which, as their name indicates, deal with disputes between private persons and public authorities. | | | The case law of the Supreme Court is available at the FINLEX data bank. | | | In addition, there is the appellate level of six Courts of Appeal, and finally the Supreme Court in Helsinki, as the court of final appeal. |

| | Law and Economics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | One of the virtues of the economic analysis of law is that, contrary to our unschooled intuitions, it can see such disparate areas as contract, tort and criminal law as all based upon economic aims, therefore giving law a more coherent basis than other theories can offer. | | | Second, it has been argued that because the paradigm case of justice is the freely entered in to contract, law is best seen as a tool to optimize contractual arrangements. | | | Two of the most influential of answers to this question, answers that can properly serve as representative, are legal positivism and Dworkin's "law as integrity." While both of these philosophical answers differ as to their definition of law and legal reasoning, they more importantly agree upon some basic central assumptions. |

| | Students are taught to spot legal issues and to analyze statutory law against the broad background of judge-made common law. | | | In 1996, the American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar drafted a proposal identifying the basic areas of knowledge that are important to a sophisticated legal education and to the development of a competent attorney. | | | This joint degree program is targeted to economics students who wish to acquire an advanced knowledge of law, without taking law courses that are specifically designed for future legal practitioners. |

| | Natural Law and Economics |
| | The natural law would suggest that for the free market to work, some order of polity and court system should itself be set up to provide that the normal workings of the market be not interfered with by the human tendencies to injustice and fraud. | | | The Roman law, in its codification, sought to establish a criterion and a procedure whereby disputes about what is or is not fair could be resolved. | | | In this sense, in both politics and economics, it allows each to be what it ought to be when it is left free to act as it should to achieve its own proper end and purpose. |

| | Salon 21st Tipping the antitrust scales |
| | Law and economics is a complex and wide-ranging set of legal theories that, upon close examination, resists easy pigeonholing to one particular political ideology. | | | Many legal theorists now consider "the economic analysis of law" to be a tool that comes with no inherent political bias and that should be a natural and fundamental part of any law school's curriculum. | | | It's not just that the particular court certain to hear any appeal is dominated by conservative Reagan-Bush appointees who look askance at government intervention in the economy -- although that certainly helps. |
