Kursets indhold og forløb

This intensive two-day course explores how economic analysis can enrich legal reasoning and contribute to he development and application of Danish private law. The programme brings together leading international scholars and experienced practitioners to examine how economic reasoning can inform both legal practice and judicial decision-making.

    Dag 1

    From efficiency to relational governance

    The first day consists of three sessions, in which you will explore the following themes:

    • The Value-Maximizing Contract: Framing and Mini-Exercise

    • Relational Contracting and Governance

    • The Role of Law and Economics in Danish Courts.

    The day begins with the logic of value-maximizing contracts, efficiency, Coasean reasoning, transaction costs and information asymmetry. Through interactive dialogue and a structured mini-negotiation exercise, you will explore how information asymmetries, transaction costs and institutional constraints influence contract design and value creation.

    The second session focuses on relational contracting and governance in long-term business relationships. You will work with informal enforcement, reputation and governance mechanisms that can reduce reliance on formal legal enforcement. The discussion highlights the implications for lawyers when drafting, negotiating, and interpreting contracts.

    The day ends with a session on the role of Law and Economics in Danish courts. We will discuss how economic reasoning can inform legal decision-making and work with selected Danish Supreme Court and appellate cases. You will engage in role-based exercises as judge and advocate, applying economic reasoning to concrete cases.

    Dag 2

    From enforcement to systemic insights

    The second day consists of three sessions, in wich you will explore the following themes:

    1. Tort Law through the Lens of Coase
    2. Basic Economic Principles for How Parties and Courts Should Deal with Changed Circumstances
    3. Efficiency, Fairness, and the Future of Private Law.

    In the first session, you will examine tort law through the lens of Coase, with a focus on externalities, transaction costs, property rules and liability rules. In an interactive case lab, you will analyse liability disputes and discuss legal rules that promote efficient and socially valuable outcomes.

    The second session addresses changed circumstances in contract law. You will work with force majeure and the Danish doctrine of basic assumptions. We discuss when contractual relief may enhance overall value and how economic reasoning can inform clause design and legal argumentation.

    The course concludes with a faculty panel on efficiency, fairness and the future of private law. The panel brings together insights across contract, property and tort law and discusses how economic reasoning can enrich Danish private law while preserving fairness, legitimacy and rule-of-law principles.
