Over exposed & under explored, consumers play critical roles across a range of legal doctrines. We're giving them their due.
Consumers' welfare forms the touchstone of antitrust.
Consumers' use of AI consumes environmental resources.
Consumers' grasp of different works impacts fair use transformation analyses.
Consumers' confusion around similar trademarks defines the scope of protection.
The Consumer is ubiquitous across a range of areas of law, shaping rules, doctrines, & analyses. At the same time, The Consumer is often underdeveloped & one-dimensional.
Join the Engelberg Center as we elevate this central character in the law, exploring how it impacts across disciplines & evolves over time.
