LEANZ Details

LEANZ is an organisation dedicated to the advancement in New Zealand of the understanding of law and economics. It provides a forum for the exchange of information, analysis and ideas amongst those with an interest in this form of analysis. That interest may be practical (for example, the field of law and economics is very relevant to many aspects of the practice of law, public policy and consultancy), or it may be more academic.Lawyers may benefit from obtaining a greater understanding of economic analysis as applied to the law. Economic principles can provide a coherent structure for tying together diverse areas of law. Economists can obtain a better understanding of the importance of legal and constitutional issues and the complexity and subtlety of the common law. Case law provides economists with a vast pool of interesting puzzles.
