The contribution of the first wave of law & economics scholars was marked by dogmatic adherence to the free market ideals of the Chicago school. Today, the second wave places greater emphasis on empirical data and accepts a much wider range of non-economic values--an approach which offers promise of an objective and balanced reception of law and economics by the courts. Contributors include judges from the High Court of Australia and the Court of Appeal, New Zealand and academics from the Universities of Toronto, Melbourne, and Cambridge. |
