  This program is offered to further the Section's long-term goal 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. This program builds on a forthcoming text book by Professor Dallas (Law and Public Policy: A Socio-Economic Approach). The program is intended not only for specialists, but also for generalists interested in improving legal education.

  With the help of more than thirty-five participants (including fourteen economists) from twenty member schools and fourteen other schools, the program is offered to demonstrate that socio-economics is especially important to an understanding of the law because it (1) recognizes the importance of the institutions such as law and private property in shaping and understanding economic behavior, (2) draws upon all disciplines necessary and helpful to understanding economic behavior, (3) provides the foundation for a rigorous approach to economic understanding (consistent with the scientific method) that is both paradigm-conscious and value conscious. The program will reveal that the socio-economic approach has important practical consequences in the representation of client interests and the formulation of law-related economic policy and is therefore essential to the professional responsibilities of lawyers and law teachers.

  Following an introductory session featuring a presentation by Professor Dau-Schmidt and an overview of the program, Professor Dallas will share her experience in teaching the first course in law and socio-economics. Other speakers will show how courses in law and economics can be enriched by including socio-economic analysis as a foundational component. Three morning concurrent sessions will be held.

  In recognition of the fact that the operation of markets cannot be understood in practice without comprehending the socio-economic realities faced by people, the first afternoon plenary session gives special focus to issues of race, class and gender. After the afternoon concurrent sessions, the final plenary will focus on the future of socio-economics.
