Abstract In 1965, Henry Manne convinced the Association of American Law Schools and the American Economic Association to establish an ad hoc joint committee to explore the possibilities of collaborative efforts between economists and legal scholars. This article examines the origins and activities of the joint committee and reveals that its work was far less about promoting increased interaction between economists and legal scholars than about a conscious attempt to use this committee to help fashion a particular form of law and economics that would reshape legal analysis in a way consistent with Manne's vision. Though the committee's effective life was very short and its direct influence negligible, the lessons learned informed Manne's subsequent efforts to institutionalize law and economics within the legal academy.
