What does it mean to be an effective lawmaker in the United States Congress and American state legislatures? And how essential is effective lawmaking to a functioning democracy? Panelists from the Center for Effective Lawmaking (CEL) at UVA’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Vanderbilt University join a discussion with a distinguished group of legislators to talk about their personal experiences as effective lawmakers, and their insights on the importance of effective lawmaking for democratic institutions.
