Unlike most democracies that rely on government agencies for regulatory enforcement, the United States has developed a distinctly different system–one that empowers ordinary citizens and their lawyers to enforce the law through more than 10,000 “private rights of action” embedded in regulatory statutes. Why and how did this system develop and what are the implications for rule of law and democracy in the United States? Please join the Neukom Center to celebrate Faculty Director Professor Diego Zambrano’s new book How Americans Enforce the Law, the first comprehensive account of this enforcement regime.
