This chapter presents a brief preview for this book Handbook of Law and Economics Volume 1 . The book provides economists with a systematic introduction and survey of research in the field of law and economics. The book contains 22 chapters and is organized into three main parts. Part I deals with the building blocks of the legal system: property law, contract law, accident law (torts), litigation (including aspects of civil procedure), and public enforcement of law (including criminal law). Part II treats other prominent areas of law: corporate law, bankruptcy law, antitrust law, regulation (of externalities, natural monopolies, and network industries), employment and labor law, antidiscrimination law, intellectual property law, environmental law, and international law. Part III addresses three additional topics: norms and the law, the experimental study of law, and political economy and the law. Most of the chapters are theoretically-oriented, but many mention relevant empirical work and three focus on empirical research (on civil law, public law enforcement, and corporate law).
