a start
'''Law and Economics''' is a movement to apply economic principles and insights to legal rules. Its genesis and credibility began with the insight of [[Ronald Coase]] in the [[Coase Theorem]], published in full in an every edition of the flagship journal of the movement, "The Journal of Law and Economics."<ref>Ronald Coase, "The Problem of Social Cost", 3 The Journal of Law and Economics No.1 (1960).</ref>

'''Law and Economics''' was resisted in most [[liberal]] law schools for decades, and was accepted primarily at the [[University of Chicago]] where it began.

By the 1990s, other law schools began to begrudgingly accept and teach '''law and economics''', but as a "quantification" approach that attempts to assign a number to everything from harm to benefits. [[Ronald Coase]] himself was not [[mathematical]] [[economist]].
