Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Clifford Winston will discuss lawyers as an influential interest group on the formation of public policy and as a recipient of large economic rents. He will argue that deregulating entry into the legal profession will reduce lawyers' rents and their incentive to support inefficient policies.
The Brookings Scholars program - a product of Brookings Mountain West - welcomes leading experts from the Brookings Institution to UNLV each month to lend insight on key regional issues through interaction with campus and community leaders, collaborative research and a free public lecture held in conjunction with each scholar's visit to campus.
