Ep.20 – Rory Van Loo on Regulatory Monitors

Rory Van Loo, associate professor of law at Boston University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his recent article Regulatory Monitors: Policing Firms in the Compliance Era. He explains that regulatory agencies are not solely driven by enforcement and regulatory attorneys. Rather, large workforces of inspectors, examiners, engineers, and other professionals monitor firms day-to-day and in large part drive decisions around when and how the law is enforced and how regulation is developed. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.
