He founded the ''Journal of Law & Economics'' in 1958 , which he co-edited with Nobel laureate Ronald Coase , that helped to unite the fields of law and economics with far-reaching influence. Born 1901 in Charterisk, Russia , Director immigrated to the United States , and then attended Yale University immediately after World War I. His sister, Rose Director , married Milton Friedman in 1938. During World War II , he held positions in the War Department and the Department of Commerce. In 1946 , Director's appointment to the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School began a half-century of intellectual productivity, although his reluctance about publishing left few writings behind.
