This Article grows out of a consultant report submitted to the Commission on Law and the Economy of the American Bar Association, but the views expressed herein are solely those of the author and should not be attributed to the Commission or the ABA. For further background, the reader is directed to the Commission's draft report on regulatory procedures, which was presented to the ABA for discussion in August 1978. The author expresses his gratitude to the North Carolina Law Center, which funded earlier related research, and to the Columbia University Center for Law and Economic Studies, which supplied hospitable research surroundings. Invaluable criticism and encouragement from Walter Gellhorn and Peter Strauss of the Columbia law faculty and Judge Henry Friendly and David Ginsburg of the Commission are also gratefully acknowledged. ** Dean and Professor of Law, Tulane University; Professor of Law, University of North Carolina, 1971-1978.
