About Law & Economics

The Law School is at the heart of a movement to expand the once-narrow field of law and economics to embrace a broader intellectual enterprise that applies the methods of economic analysis to almost all areas of law. Much of the Law School's activity in this area is carried out by the John M. Olin Center for Law, Economics and Public Policy.

History of Law & Economics at Yale Law School

The point I keep making to folks that ask me what the best part was of being a Yale Law student, it’s community. And it really is the community I found there. That community stays with you for your whole life.”
