Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page report discusses the incentives and disincentives that the American legal system provides in the
promotion of public policy What is often forgotten in the frustration of dealing with America's legal system is the very simple fact that, convoluted though it may often seem,
it still provides the framework for the protection of individual rights and freedoms. An economics viewpoint can be used to analyze public sector decision making because

constraints are, in turn, defined by the law. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

large portion of which has been directed at the law in general. What is forgotten in the frustration of Americas legal system is the very simple fact that, convoluted
though it may often seem, it still provides the framework for the protection of individual rights and freedoms. For example, no one denies that illegal drugs are a menace
in American society but the debate continues to circle around issues relating to the laws that defines the penalties and processes associated with drug trafficking. Somehow, "the law" has become
the factor that, depending on who one speaks to, are either to lax or to harsh. Thus, the law needs to be changed. Perhaps what would be better
served is a change in attitude toward the laws that govern society. Public and Economic Interest as Served by Law
