This book logically orders the potentially untidy assortment of observations about human behavior in legal settings. It thereby lifts the field of behavioral law and economics into greater prominence, even while serving as an excellent introduction to the field. It belongs on the shelf of every scholar, student, judge, and lawyer interested in understanding how law affects human behavior.
