The Law & Economics Center (LEC) at George Mason University School of Law is a national center for research and education that focuses on the timely and relevant economic analysis of legal and public policy issues.
As a vertically integrated academic think tank, the LEC produces top quality research and then distributes the research through a sophisticated communications strategy that includes educational programs for judges, attorneys general, and other policy makers.
The LEC relies on the law school’s renowned group of law-and-economic scholars, as well as other prominent experts, for research, teaching, and outreach activities. As a nonpartisan academic think tank, the LEC depends on contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations to fund its operation.
