The University of Chicago Law Review
Labor market power is a hotly debated issue that has garnered increasing scholarly attention in legal academia. With market power comes questions of regulation. This Symposium will explore how law can address and regulate the labor market to respond to its failures. The Law Review will bring together perspectives from law, economics, history, and sociology. Scholars will engage with antitrust enforcement, unionization, and other means of workplace regulation.
