In this episode, you’ll meet Jason
Rathod. Jason is a practicing attorney, but he also likes to
write lengthy law review articles. He’s written about how the
United States uses foreign aid to impose our legal system on other
countries, something we call “Rule of Law” aid. Jason argues
that “Rule of Law” aid actually only exports half of our legal
system: the part that is pro-business and
pro-capitalism. What is missing are legal protections for
consumers and employees, and in particular mechanisms, like class
actions, that Jason calls aggregate litigation. In this interview,
you’ll find out why he advocates for other countries to adopt
aggregate litigation rules. You’ll also hear Jason’s very
entertaining story about his unique destination wedding, which
included him dancing on top of a horse-drawn carriage as part of a
traditional Indian wedding processional through the streets of
Cartagena, Columbia!
