Jurisdynamics
"Jurisdynamics describes the interplay between legal responses to exogenous change and the law's endogenous adaptive capacity. This blog focuses on tools (mathematics, linguistics, complexity theory, and biology) and subjects (regulation, innovation, environmental law, and natural disasters) that invite jurisdynamic analysis."
Author: Jurisdynamics has three contributing law professors: Jim Chen is the dean of the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville also contributes to Ratio Juris, MoneyLaw, The Cardinal Lawyer, BioLaw: Law and the Life Sciences and Law School Innovation; Daniel A. Farber is the Sho Sato Professor of Law and Director of the Environmental Law Program at the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law; and J.B. Ruhl is the Matthews & Hawkins Professor of Property at the Florida State University College of Law.
