An introduction to economic terms, concepts and analysis in the context of legal and public-policy issues. Examination of the roles of prices and markets, the causes of market failures and the criteria for "corrective" intervention. The course has four objectives: (1) an understanding of the fundamental microeconomic terms and concepts; (2) an ability to analyze a client's (individual, corporate or public) short-run and long-run economic interests in a variety of legal contexts; (3) a recognition of the normative judgments that are implicit in many economic policies and the legal structures effectuating such policies; and (4) the uses and limits of economic analysis and economic data in solving a variety of societal problems. Special emphasis will be placed on applications of economic analysis in actual legal settings, such as damages analyses and analyses of settlements and decisions to pursue litigation. [Note, the course does not cover any macroeconomic topics, i.e., monetary policy, fiscal policy.]

This seminar will deal with the laws of the Catholic Church in two parts. The first part will be a brief survey of the history of the laws of the Catholic Church, the general areas covered by the law of the church, and the principals underlying the revised Code of Canon Law. The second part of the seminar will deal with one particular area of Canon Law, that may be of some interest to many of the students, dealing with marriage and annulments. It is hoped that seeing a bit of the operation of the law in one area will give some idea of the general approach of Canon Law in other areas as well.
