The Duke Law Journal’s Administrative Law Symposium strives to produce an annual commentary on each year’s major developments in the field of federal administrative law. The symposium reports and analyzes those developments which are of general significance, presenting in one volume a discussion of current controversial issues which should be of interest both to the infrequent agency practitioner and to the attorney or agency member who desires a cross-agency perspective on those issues.

The Center for Innovation Policy's conference, "The Decline in Corporate Research: Should We Worry?", was held on March 31, 2017, at Duke's "Duke in D.C." offices.
