The Epistemology of Law and Law & Economics in Civil Law

The impossibility of denying the importance of Economics in our society and specifically in Law is striking when we realise the precision of its tools even starting from a human science to delimit the results of its studies. It is realised that when using economic science together with legal science a notorious dynamism is caused for the performance of the operators of the law with greater decision-making power in our legal system that is legislators and magistrates. However using economics in law requires special care given that the core of the former is the quantification of results always seeking the lowest cost for the best solution to your dispute. Already the second there is a resolution of conflicts through justice which inevitably removes a better result for the whole generating some indignation by the delay in solving problems especially in Brazil as well as the lack of prognosis to avoid future divergences. Thus we sought through the philosophical and doctrinal bases of both sciences to understand the role of Economics in Law through the Law & Economics movement in times of advancing Neoliberal thinking.
