                     LAW	AND	ECONOMICS	(pdf	6th	edition)	
                         by Robert Cooter and Thomas Ulen 
             This	is	a	pdf	version	of	the	latest	version	(6th	edition)	of	Law	and	Economics	
          by	Cooter	and	Ulen.		The	ownership	of	this	book	has	reverted	from	the	publisher	to	
          its	authors,	so	we	are	posting	it	online	for	everyone	freely	to	read	or	use	as	a	
          textbook.		After	more	than	thirty	years	as	the	field’s	leading	textbook,	it	continues	to	
          cover	the	latest	developments	in	the	economic	analysis	of	property,	torts,	contracts,	
          legal	process,	and	crimes.		Each	new	edition	refines	the	analytical	core,	incorporates	
          new	applications,	and	expands	previous	discussions	of	empirical	legal	studies	and	
          behavioral	law	and	economics.	We	hope	that	you	enjoy	reading	this	book	as	much	as	
          we	enjoyed	writing	it.	
             Looking	forward	to	next	year,	this	duet	will	become	an	internet	symphony	
          that	takes	full	advantage	of	the	internet	revolution	in	publishing.		Improvements	
          will	be	posted	to	the	internet	continuously	in	small	amounts	(7.1,	7.2,	7.3,	etc.),	until	
          a	new	edition	appears	with	large	changes	(8.0).		Not	just	a	textbook,	the	7th	edition	
          will	have	supporting	materials,	including	translations.		For	updates,	join	the	email	
          list	found	by	googling	“Cooter	and	Ulen	Berkeley	Law	Repository”.		Perhaps	you	will	
          have	something	to	contribute	to	the	website.	For	the	best	feast,	the	host	supplies	the	
          main	course	each	guest	contributes	a	dish.
