The Section's program is offered to encourage and facilitate the inclusion of socio-economic analysis in law teaching by way of 1) courses in law and socio-economics; 2) enriched courses in law and economics; and 3) course segments in other traditional courses. After an introductory overview, eight half-hour plenary sessions follow. The program is intended for generalists as well as those conversant in neoclassical economics.

This program's topics are based on chapters in teaching materials prepared by Professor Dallas and offered by her in the first course in Law and Socio-Economics. The program reflects recurrent themes in socio-economic programs and literature and is consistent with the definition of socio-economics upon which the Section was founded. A paraphrase of a portion of the Section's founding petition reads as follows: Mindful that the neoclassic paradigm has a pervasive and powerful influence on contemporary thought, and recognizing that people first adopt paradigms of thought and then perform their inductive, deductive, and empirical analyses, socio-economists seek to examine the assumptions of the neoclassical paradigm, develop a rigorous understanding of its limitations, improve upon its application and develop alternative, perhaps complementary approaches that are predictive, exemplary and morally sound. The Section is therefore grateful for the work of Professor Dallas in advancing the understanding of socio-economics. Nevertheless, there is more than one good way to design an offering in law and socio-economics; and participants will offer improvements and alternative approaches.

After the plenary sessions, ten concurrent sessions will explore ways to introduce socio-economic principles into traditional courses. The participants and attendants are encouraged to suggest specific teaching materials for use in such courses.
