Economics is generally viewed as a positive science. Law, on the other hand, is and must be normative.The decision to employ economics in legal analysis and decision making is, therefore, a normative decision. One of the normative criteria is whether the economics conforms to reality. This session focuses on the hazards of not recognizing the distinction between the theoretical world of economics and the normative reality in which people live in society and in which law is relevant. In this session, three law professors with Ph.Ds in economics deconstruct the application of neoclassical economics to antitrust, examine home schooling, and discuss the clash between the principle of precedent and normative goals.
