EVENT DETAIL: America's law system has morphed from a set of limited rules intended to provide the framework needed to maintain a civil society into an intrusive, burdensome web of autocratic rules that have eroded freedom. Impractical ideologies have failed us, and it's time that we discuss practical solutions to our problems. Join us as CRI Board Chair Matt Lenzini interviews Philip Howard and we will discuss his new book, "Try Common Sense," and his approach to fixing our dysfunctional and overly litigious system.
