The Economic Approach to Law
Thomas Miceli
Stanford Economics and Finance, 2003
In recent decades, the economic approach to law has developed into a mainstream field of study for both legal scholars and economists. This book provides a textbook treatment of the subject, primarily directed toward undergraduate economics students.

Antitrust Law, Second Edition
Richard A. Posner
University Of Chicago Press, 2001
everything is in there, but take it with a grain of salt.
If I had to suggest the purchase of this book I would recommend it. There is almost everything in the book about US antitrust. But some warnings are necessary. It's not for students. It's not for lawyers. Maybe scholars and judges can be interested. The author highlights what is not coherent in the ...

Law and Economics in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)
Jeffrey L. Harrison, Harrison
West Publishing Company, 2000
Perfect for Review Time!
This book was on my Suggested Reading list for law school so I picked it up. Now that I've read the book, I must say that this is NOT a good book to read over the summer before classes start. It is much more useful as a review. It is way too succinct to be a very valuable tool for learning Law ...

The Strategic Constitution
Robert D. Cooter
Princeton University Press, 2002
Constitutional Law and Economics
+ Very useful synopsis of key themes
Well written, simple and complete. If I wasn't aware of the existing public choice literature I would have thought that this branch of economics (or law?) is mature and well developed, and that this book is a University textbook for a would-be course in Constitutional law and economics (if ever ...

Economics of the Law: Torts, Contracts, Property and Litigation
Thomas J. Miceli
Oxford University Press, USA, 1997
Good intro and overview.
+ Mathematics? If you call Coase mathematics..
+ Best Textbook Treatment of the Economics of Law
I can't say I have any great love for the school of thought expounded in this volume. But if it's mathematical models you want, it's mathematical models you'll get in this fine introduction. (Me, I disagree with the mathematical-models approach pretty much _in toto_ and favor the Austrian ...
