"We see major gaps in both the legal research and training needed to tackle pressing questions of economic governance, said Khan, who chaired the FTC under former President Joe Biden."
"Khan is expected to use her new position to push her philosophy that antitrust law should be enforced strictly to prevent monopolies and preserve competition."
"The new center's co-director, Lev Menand, said that shortfall has constrained the country's ability to solve pressing economic and social problems, including the 2008 financial crisis, greening the energy grid and the increased consolidation of industry."
Lina Khan, former FTC chair, will direct Columbia Law School's Center for Law and the Economy. The center aims to address gaps in legal research and training related to economic governance. Khan's experience in antitrust enforcement against major corporations will inform the curriculum. The initiative responds to a growing interest among law students and aims to develop expertise in economic law. Co-director Lev Menand noted that the lack of knowledge in this area has hindered solutions to significant economic issues.
