About the Coase-Sandor Institute for Law and Economics
The Coase-Sandor Institute for Law and Economics continues the long tradition of excellence at the University of Chicago Law School as the birthplace of law in economics. First established as the Institute for Law and Economics, the goal of the Institute is to promote the understanding and dissemination of the economic approach to law. Institute faculty produce cutting-edge research and the Institute team provides empirical research support and organizes conferences and events in Chicago and beyond.
Events
When the Law School’s scholars tap into massive data sets to answer pressing legal questions, they often draw support from the Coase-Sandor Institute of Law and Economics, an academic hub and research lab staffed by a small team of analysts trained to clean, organize, and synthesize data.
It’s a behind-the-scenes ingredient designed for Law School faculty whose cutting-edge scholarship includes time-consuming empirical work—and it is a resource John Rappaport, Professor of Law and Ludwig and Hilde Wolf Research Scholar, calls “significant.”
The Donald M. Ephraim Lecture on Law and Economics, featuring Professor Jacob Goldin, kicked off the Law School’s 2024-2025 Named Lecture Series in early October, drawing a fully packed auditorium of students, faculty, and staff.
