This exciting volume marks the birth of a new field, one which attempts to study law with reference to an accurate understanding of human behavior.

With a better knowledge of human behavior, it is possible to predict the actual effects of law, to see how law can promote society's goals, and to reassess the questions of what law should be doing.
