This poses questions of legal theory about the role of regulations in society if the state has no intention or lacks resources to enforce them as well as practical questions for the regulated actors in how or when to comply with regulations.\u00a0 It also sets up a minefield for the regulated actor if enforcement agencies play \u201cgotcha\u201d on technical strict liability rules buried in dense manuals or that have never before been enforced.<\/p>\n<p>Although focusing on law, the Symposium is intended to be multi-disciplinary and seeks to bring together scholars from law, ethics, political science, business, economics, and philosophy.\u00a0 Accordingly, we invite submissions addressing any and all aspects of regulation enforcement and non-enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Possible topics for papers include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inconsistent enforcement of regulations, generally<\/li>\n<li>Administrative discretion as prosecutorial discretion<\/li>\n<li>The role of waivers and administrative stays<\/li>\n<li>\u201cPermissive\u201d penalties with thin criteria for application<\/li>\n<li>Does (or should) the U.S. have a theory of regulation?<\/li>\n<li>Non-enforcement as deregulation<\/li>\n<li>Gaming regulatory action in crafting compliance internal audits<\/li>\n<li>Abuse, justice, or both in inconsistent agency actions<\/li>\n<li>Whistleblower incentives as solutions for agency inaction<\/li>\n<li>When is it appropriate for the Executive Branch to not enforce the law?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Submission and Review Timeline<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Those interested in participating, please send a <u>300-500-word abstract<\/u> to Ryan Meade at rmeade@luc.edu by <strong><u>September 29, 2017<\/u><\/strong>. \u00a0Accepted papers will be notified of decisions no later than October 6, 2017.
