Metabolic encephalopathies, especially hepatic and renal, are the most common causes of bilateral asterixis. Those caused specifically by hepatic failure are known as liver (or hepatic) flap. Other causes of asterixis include cardiac and respiratory disease, electrolyte abnormalities and drug intoxication.
Law and Economics. The law and economics movement applies economic theory and method to the practice of law. It asserts that the tools of economic reasoning offer the best possibility for justified and consistent legal practice. It is arguably one of the dominant theories of jurisprudence.
Why is Economics the best preparation for Law School? It may be that, unlike other disciplines, studying Economics does not teach you particular answers to a given question, but rather Economics teaches you how to approach a question with reasonable and rational methods of obtaining an answer.
