Conference announcement: disclosure and its discontents

The Washington Law Review will be hosting an upcoming symposium at the University of Washington School of Law on "The Disclosure Crisis." It invites those in the Pacific Northwest will be able to attend.

Announcement:

Mandatory disclosure is a popular form of regulation. From privacy to healthcare, politics to “payola,” laws requiring disclosure have proliferated in recent decades. This symposium features panel discussions by top scholars and practitioners on why we love—or love to hate—disclosure, why it seems to never work, and what solutions exist.
