Abstract
Bounded rationality is an important and pervasive characteristic of much human behavior. Legal policy under American President Barack Obama has been strongly influenced by behavioral economics' understanding of boundedly rational behavior. Often legal policy should, and does, attempt to achieve debiasing of actors in response to boundedly rational behavior.
