The Journal of Law, Economics & Policy hosted its tenth annual symposium on October 21, 2010, in partnership with the Law & Economics Center at George Mason University, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Foundation for Criminal Justice.  There is widespread recognition, across the political and ideological spectrum, that the United States is over-criminalized, and that over-criminalization poses serious threats to our liberties, our values, and our prosperity.  With recognition and examination of this problem, it is now time to move to the next level – developing solutions. This symposium captured the broad consensus on the over-criminalization problem and served as the motivation for reform.
