Introduction to Law & Economics for Tribal Judges

Introduction to Law & Economics for Tribal Judges taught tribal judges to engage in the economic analysis of legal and public policy issues.  Judges were given a solid grounding in economics and then shown how economic issues are often at the heart of legal disputes. Classroom lectures and discussions provided a logical framework for the practical analysis of cases and regulations.  Instructors included Scalia Law professors who specialize in teaching economics concepts to audiences that have no prior exposure to economics, as well as professors from Stanford, Arizona State, and other prestigious universities.
