Corporate Accountability Lab
A New Legal Social Lab Disrupting the Crisis of Corporate Impunity
Abstract
Corporate Accountability Lab (CAL) utilizes a novel legal “social lab” model to create new legal tools and strategies capable of holding corporations accountable for human rights and environmental abuses that occur across supply chains. Through this lab, CAL researches, tests, creates, and distributes new corporate accountability and consumer protection legal tools called DCALs. CAL then offers tutorials and consulting services to implement the DCALs. As pioneers of the legal social lab model, we believe an experimental approach offers great promise in generating new solutions to the most complex and entrenched social problems in the 21st Century.
