Solum's Legal Theory Primer

Larry Solum has another entry in his excellent "Legal Theory Lexicon" series; this time he discusses utilitarianism.

For those who've missed some of these brilliant primers, check out his Legal Theory Lexicon archive for previous posts on The Prisoner's Dilemma, The Veil of Ignorance, Holdings, The Reasonable Person, Hypotheticals, The Coase Theorem (why oh why didn't he write this a year ago?) and the Ex Ante/Ex Post distinction.
