Summary

In a number of prominent legal programs, institutional design of the underlying processes allows speakers to shift the costs of processing their message to ill-equipped audiences. Such a design is unstable and leads to incomprehensible communications and failed legal goals. This final chapter discusses the social consequences of these institutional design problems and offers general recommendations for reform.
