Gordon Smith and Darian Ibrahim’s paper “Entrepreneurs on Horseback: Reflections on the Organization of Law,” is up on SSRN. The paper surveys the emerging field of law and entrepreneurship and urges legal scholars to pay closer attention to the entrepreneurship literature. “In making our case, we argue that research at the intersection of entrepreneurship and law is distinctive. In some instances, legal rules and practices are tailored to the entrepreneurial context, and in other instances, general rules of law find novel expression in the entrepreneurial context.”
(The paper’s title alludes to an inside joke about the mythical “law of the horse,” a hyper-specialized branch of legal theory no serious law school would include in its curriculum. Law and entrepreneurship, in other words, is not quite as silly as the law of the horse.)
