Prof. Cox's Research, Subject of U.S. House Judiciary Testimony

A study co-authored by Professor Prentiss Cox and Professor Amy Widman of Northern Illinois University was discussed in a testimony before the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. The study, recently published in the Cardozo Law Review, evaluated the use by state attorneys general of concurrent enforcement authority over federal consumer protection laws. The study concluded that such use was relatively modest and cooperative with federal agencies. Widman testified before the committee about the study, and others testifying before the committee also referred to the study.
