Efforts to integrate CAS approaches to regulated systems may flounder if complex adaptive characteristics of the legal system it- self are not taken into account. For example, although natural-resources policy theorists have advocated for a new field of adaptive management based on an understanding that ecosystems are CAS, agencies, courts, and other components of the legal system have reacted in unexpected ways that can frustrate adaptive management (3). Legal systems are locked in perpetual co- evolution with their regulatory targets. Co- adaptive dynamics have driven growth in structure and size, punctuated with stages of nonlinear expansion of the U.S. statutory was a factor in the 2008 financial crisis (5) and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (6). THEORY, ANALYSIS, APPLICATION Application of informatics and big-data– styled research to law offers many potential benefits for conventional empirical legal studies. The CAS framework is neither an extension of nor a replacement for that ap- proach but a different way of envisioning systems in which agent strategies and sys- tem structures evolve, with outcomes stan- dard game theory and equilibrium analyses would not predict (7). Although well behind CAS research in other social sciences, re- searchers have begun to map CAS concepts onto the legal system (2). Researchers are applying empirical tools of complexity sci- ence to understand how to measure, moni- tor, and manage the legal system as a CAS.

Emergence of a giant [connected] component after 1815, a hallmark phenomenon in complex systems, represents a transition from jurisprudential reliance on foreign to domestic law following the War of 1812 (4).
