Do Judges Matter?
An extensive literature examines whether characteristics of judges correlate with votes on cases. These studies generally consider the judges' votes on the merits of cases. Examining a data set of 4,591 decisions issued by 48 state supreme courts in 2003, we consider whether judges' personal features affect their opinion writing. We find virtually no significant differences along any of the dimensions under review. Judicial characteristics matter…
Empirical Analysis of Legal Theory
This paper explores the potential of using empirical data to illuminate long-standing issues in legal theory. Sophisticated parties often include dispute-resolution clauses in major contracts. Because these terms are agreed to ex ante, they may represent the parties' mutual best judgment about efficient mechanisms for dispute resolution. Empirical data can thus provide useful information pertinent to a number of ongoing theoretical debates. This …
Unmanifested Harm in Business-to-Consumer Transactions
This article considers four liability regimes for unmanifested harm in business-to-consumer transactions: (a) delayed damages that require the consumer to wait until the harm occurs; (b) anticipatory damages that award money to a consumer based on the statistical probability that the product will fail or cause harm; (c) injunctive relief prohibiting the manufacturer from producing the product; and (d) trust damages, under which the manufacturer e…

Why Small Parties Fail
This article examines why the ACT New Zealand political party has experienced an overall lack of success since entering Parliament in 1996. ACT’s lack of success is represented by the fact that despite high expectations and continued confident predictions from within the party, it has thus far failed to receive the substantial share of the vote for which it hoped. Moreover, the party’s support was slashed at the most recent election in 2005, when…
Global Administrative Law
International law-making by sub-national actors and regulatory networks of bureaucrats has come under attack as lacking in accountability and legitimacy. Global administrative law is emerging as an approach to understanding what international organizations and national governments do, or ought to do, to respond to the perceived democracy deficit in international law-making. This article examines the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a club …
Regulatory Failure and the Collapse of Japan’s Home Mortgage Lending Industry
This article analyzes the dynamics of contemporary cooperation and conflict in Japanese financial regulation through the prism of the “jusen problem,” the collapse of Japan’s home mortgage lending industry in the 1990s. The jusen problem is one of the most striking examples of regulatory failure, strategic interest group bargaining, and large‐scale dispute resolution in Japanese history

The Legal-Economic Analysis of Comparative Civil Procedure
The comparative analysis of civil procedure examines dispute-resolution systems from different jurisdictions, with an eye toward identitying symilarities and differences, enhancing the understanding of particular systems, encouraging law reform, and facilitating harmonization. To date, comparative civil procedure has not drawn extensively from the literature on the economic analysis of procedural rules and methods. Yet economics has much to offer…

Bank Failure
Several books have been written recently on the collapse of the banking industry in the United States. These books are enlightening to the extent they detail the economic problems facing the industry and propose constructive solutions for resolving the crisis. Unfortunately, the books fail to provide a convincing account of the cause of the current problems in the banking industry. Ultimately, the problems facing the American banking industry are…
Good Finance, Bad Economics
The Supreme Court's endorsement of the fraud-on-the-market theory in Basic, Inc. v. Levinson established the efficient capital markets hypothesis (ECMH), a cornerstone of modern finance theory, as a decisive tool for resolving legal disputes involving securities fraud and matters of corporate disclosure. Although the ECMH has long been an integral part of legal scholarship on the nature and purpose of securities regulation, courts have treated it…
