Abstract

Empirical legal studies (ELS) is a sibling discipline to law and economics. Conceived by a visionary scholar almost 40 years ago, it has today become a reality. ELS is currently one of the most interesting phenomena in legal academia. We here celebrate its founder Theodore Eisenberg, and provide a glimpse of this important step forward in modern legal scholarship, for a law and economics audience.
