This paper outlines the general principles that underlie the economic analysis of the substantive body of the law and the productions of judicial and legal services. Reform of tort law and the reform of the UK legal service sector are considered using this economic analysis. The efficiency and the degree of state provision and subsidy are assessed to the degree of market failure in the delivery of legal services. The efficiency of tort law is considered as a single instrument which is concerned with the dual objectives of deterring accidents and compensating accident victims.
