The Cato Institute: Register today for Cato University College of Law

If we wish to live in a free society, the rule of law must be paramount – equally applicable to those who govern and those who are governed. This session of Cato University examines the functions of law, its composition, the processes of the American legal system, law’s limits on government and its ability to preserve and advance liberty, and American constitutional law.
Cato University: College of Law • March 15-17, 2018 • New Orleans
