The Twenty-Eighth Economics Institute will accommodate up to 30 law professors. All professors must attend group meals and social events together. Classes meet for two weeks, with morning sessions daily and afternoon sessions scheduled on several days. There is no class on Sunday, July 22.

The Law Institute for Economics Professors provides professors with an introduction to basic legal research methods, legal procedures and substantive areas of the law. The objective of the Institute is to help economists bring greater policy relevance to their teaching and scholarship.The Institute is primarily a course about law, not “Law & Economics”. It is carefully designed to provide academic economists with an overview of the American legal system.
