About Centre for Law and Economics, School of Law, Bennett University
The intersection of law and economics forms the foundation of modern governance and policymaking. The dynamic interplay between legal frameworks and economic principles shapes societies, markets, and institutions. Recognizing the importance of this interdisciplinary field, Centre for Law and Economics has been established at School of Law, Bennett University. The centre aims to focus on a collaborative effort to study the interrelation between law and economics and to identify the key areas for development. This centre aims to serve as a hub for research, education, and policy analysis, fostering collaboration between legal scholars and experts of economics, legal practitioners, policymakers, and industry stakeholders.
About the Conference
Both law and economics exist as distinct systems, each with its own set of doctrines and methodologies. Economics operates upon the fundamental assumption of rationality, which operates the invisible hand, which in turn, orchestrates the whole system. Similarly, law operates as a normative force, seeking to order the conduct of all individuals in society. While on one hand, the significance of the impact of legal regime on the primary forces of economics can hardly be overstated; on the other, economics itself exerts crucial influence upon the working of the legal system. Further, the discipline of economics can also effectively aid the assessment of the different polices, laws, rules and regulations and drive necessary legal reform. The emergence of the branch of ‘economic analysis of law’ has been aimed at leveraging the theories and methodologies of economics to understand legal doctrines and to find solutions to the challenges in the field of law.
The deep interlinkages between the two disciplines, undeniably merit a discussion on the points of intersection and the impact of the mutual contiguities. The interface of the disciplines of law and economics presents an interesting avenue for interdisciplinary research.
With an aim to transcend the boundaries of the discipline, in order to produce a richer discourse on contemporary challenges and issues in the field of law and economics, the Centre for Law and Economics at School of Law, Bennett University is organizing the first International Conference on Law, Economics and Contemporary Challenges. The first edition of the Conference is aimed at producing nuanced deliberations upon the interface of law and economics in society.
