The purpose of the center, which is supported by a grant from the John M. Olin Foundation, is to further student understanding of law and economics, promote faculty research in the area, and help make the bar and the public better aware of the economic approach. The center supports a variety of activities including fellowships for students at Harvard Law School, research assistantships, prizes for the best student papers in law and economics, a seminar series in which invited speakers present works in progress to students and interested faculty, curriculum development, conferences, empirical and theoretical research, and the Harvard Law School Discussion Papers in Law and Economics. The center also includes a special-purpose program, the Program on Corporate Governance. Together with the School’s course offerings related to economics and law, the center helps to provide a stimulating environment for students interested in pursuing an interest in the area. |
