CLR Symposium: Integrity and the New Corruption

A Connecticut Law Review Symposium

Friday, October 16, 2026

William F. Starr Hall, Stuart F. Smith Reading Room

This symposium will examine some new forms of corruption in public affairs. Panelists will address topics including the weaknesses in U.S. federal, state, and local laws that fail to reign in corruption domestically and the institutional weaknesses that fail to curb it. We will pose a wide-ranging set of questions to our participants, who will come from across the country and from both academic and law enforcement backgrounds. Are forms of corruption surfacing that our laws and institutions have not been designed to address? Have institutions been weakened that we have traditionally relied upon? What lessons can we learn from the successes and failures of other countries?

Registration is free for students, faculty, staff and the general public. There is a $85 registration fee for attorneys seeking CT CLE credit.
