Official Source Note
The University of Illinois College of Law lists Ulen as Swanlund Chair Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Law and notes his work in law and economics, legal education, and regulatory issues.
Ulen is included because his coauthored textbook with Robert Cooter helped define the pedagogical architecture of law and economics for legal readers, linking doctrine to incentives, institutions, and economic method.
Relevance to the Archive
Ulen strengthens the archive's pedagogical foundation by linking doctrinal legal study to economic method, legal education, behavioral assumptions, and regulatory analysis.
