This textbook places the relationship between law and economics in its international context, explaining the fundamentals of this increasingly important area of teaching and research in an accessible and straightforward manner. In presenting the subject, Alan Devlin draws on the neoclassical tradition of economic analysis of law while also showcasing cutting- edge developments, such as the rise of behavioural economic theories of law.

Key features of this innovative book include:

  • case law, directives, regulations, and statistics from EU, UK, and US jurisdictions are presented clearly and contextualised for law students, showing how law and economics theory can be understood in practice;
  • succinct end- of-chapter summaries highlight the essential points in each chapter to focus student learning;
  • further reading is provided at the end of each chapter to guide independent research.

Making use of tables and diagrams throughout to facilitate understanding, this text provides a comprehensive overview of law-and-economics that is ideal for those new to the subject and for use as a course text for law-and-economics modules.

Alan Devlin is an antitrust lawyer with the San Francisco office of Latham & Watkins LLP, and has taught courses on law and economics, antitrust, and intellectual property as an adjunct member of the law faculties of the University of Chicago, DePaul University, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, and most recently UC Hastings College of Law.
