The University of Utah’s S.J. Quinney College of Law is working on coming up with some answers. The law school is hosting a symposium Friday examining the current challenges facing US governance and some practical solutions to those problems. Symposium organizer and associate professor of law at the U Michael Teter talks with KUER.

The symposium will be broadcast live on ulaw.tv. The findings will be published in the Utah Law Review.
