This event is not open to the public.

Join ACS at NYU for a conversation with Stanford Law Professor Diego A. Zambrano on a conversation about his new book, "How Americans Enforce the Law." In his book, Zambrano reveals that private enforcement is not a modern innovation but an inherited tradition dating to medieval English "penal statutes" that colonial America adopted and intensified. The book traces how this system evolved through critical junctures and was boosted by twentieth-century procedural innovations like broad discovery rules and class actions that transformed scattered statutory clauses into a mass-litigation engine. Professor Zambrano will be joined by Professor Samuel Issacharoff.
