Abstract
“I can’t afford to bring this case, but I can’t afford to do nothing,” says Diana, a hypothetical owner of an American manufacturing business whose sales are diving. The recession, slow recovery, and foreign competition are squeezing Diana’s sales so much that she anticipates having to close the factory. She learns from a lawyer that there is a way to sue foreign importers, and if she wins, customs duties will be levied on the importers, eroding their price advantage. The suit would be for a trade violation, such as unfair pricing or illegal subsidies.
