Law and Economics Center

Arlington, VA

---

The Law and Economics Center mission is to educate judges in how to apply principles of economic analysis to the law. By 1991, the Center had provided such training -- with seminars held at resort locations to enhance their attractiveness -- to over 40 percent of the federal judiciary.

Like the Center for the Study of Market Processes, the LEC is run independently of George Mason, with corporate and foundation sponsors covering "all travel, lodging and meal expenses for the most powerful players in the legal system -- judges."
