Hukum dan Ekonomi merupakan salah satu disiplin dalam ilmu hukum yang menawarkan pengutamaan efisiensi ekonomi sebagai kaidah hukum dalam mengarahkan praktik hukum. Dengan melakukan konseptualisasi lebih lanjut, efisiensi ekonomi juga membantu dalam menilai dan melakukan penilaian terhadap hukum. Salah satu bentuk efisiensi ekonomi dalam tulisan ini adalah pendekatan ekonomis terhadap hukum dalam merumuskan keuntungan yang dihasilkan hukum. Dalam hal ini efisiensi ekonomi mengubah hukum sebagai insentif dalam mengubah perilaku manusia seperti halnya mempertahankan perilaku yang sudah sejalan dengan tujuan-tujuan hukum. Hukum seyogianya menentukan upaya perbaikan melalui penghukuman dan penghargaan sebagai insentif untuk mengungkap aspek-aspek tertentu atau krusial dari ilmu hukum.

Indonesia as a Rechtsstaat like any other developing countries, its society is based on patterns and economic classes, overall obedience to the law is not easy. In heterogeneous society formed of groups based on religion, race, language, and wealth, it is one of the most difficult unifying factors in terms of compliance with the law. Conflict of interest tend to make any law may be resisted. As a consequence being a Rechtsstaat, the greatest difficulty is to produce efficient legal outcomes and consistency of legal practice. At this point, the law and economics offers economic efficiency as a framework to model effective legal outcome and common purposes to widely unify disparate areas of legal activities. The primacy of efficiency helps to harmonise the practice of law with social practices. When such law exists, it does function as a social tool aiming at the promotion of economic efficiency that goes well with other social practices. Efficiency in law simplifies how law works in different society, especially in heterogeneous communities. This approach does not reduce law to economics (or vice versa, for that matter), it claims simply that law and economics have a lot to learn from one another.

In the globalisation era, laws are forced and challenged to be able to adapt. Not only from economists, but lawyers also are hungry for the primacy of efficiency and start to duplicate the way most economists think, such as, in explicating efficiency and progressiveness of the rule of law. From law and economics perspectives, the rule of law shall provide clarification in order to improve its practices. The general theory is that law is best viewed as a social tool that promotes economic efficiency. With economic approach, efficiency is an ideal model that guides legal practice. In terms of the rule of law, law and economics considers how efficient rules produce the quality of law. This writing has answered three issues: first, how rationality affects people’s behaviour within legal situations. Second, how collective behaviour should have effect on legal rules. Third, understanding and planning strategic actions in the legal context.Since all economic activities regulated by the law, therefore, Indonesian laws need to promote economic efficiency in at least two ways: structure the law in order to remove impediments that encourages private bargaining; and structure the law to minimise the harm caused by failures in private bargaining.
