From Prof. George:
Dear Law & Econ Students,
We have a lot of reading for tomorrow. The textbook has an overview of the basic law & economics of the legal process. I've also assigned four papers. The two theory papers (Priest & Klien, Bebchuk) represent the key ideas about disputes selected for litigation. The two Waldfogel papers empirically test the two theories. None of this material is covered in our text.
Because the papers are closely related, we will cover material in all of them. However you do not need to study the mathematics of the theory or the empirical tests, just familiarize yourself with the ideas and the basic mathematical approach.

Research Assistant Position Available
From Prof. Filer:
This is a very good opportunity to build your resume for those interested in Ph.D. applications. I do not know if it is paid, but this is the type of internship we could arrange course credit for if you are selected.
An opening for a part-time research asistant (10 hours per week) is now available at the International Longevity Center. The RA will participate in a research project studying the income and expenditures of older households in 12 countries. Current analysis focuses on France and the US, and is primarily based on national budget surveys. This work is under the direction of Drs. Charlotte Muller and Oleg Volkov.
The RA would be assisting in table preparation and contributing to the analysis for the final France-US report and also in updating ILC's international database on Economic Status of Older Persons [ESOP]. Statistical and computer skills are necessary.
Household budget surveys support comparisons of income sources, living standards and quality of life as indicated by consumption patterns, and productive engagement as revealed by reliance on earnings, subjects of interest in the context of population aging.
Would you kindly post this announcement? Interested students should send their c.v. to Dr. Muller at
charlottem@ilcusa.org
