    Abstract:
    The systems approach applies the methods of systems analysis to law. The principal method is to describe the system, situate a problem within the system, and take system mechanics into account in solving it. The system might be the “legal system”—essentially litigation. But more often, it is a “law-related system”—one not composed of law, but one in which law plays a role. That system might be crime, the Internet, the corporation, or any other activity substantially affected by law. The analyst situates the application of law in the context of the physical system as it actually operates. In business associations, that context may be law offices, boardrooms, the daily interactions of business co-owners, as well as courtrooms and settlement discussions. One situates the application of law in the context of the physical system by describing the system with emphasis on the causal connections through which it operates.
