Duke Law Journal's 42nd Annual Administrative Law Symposium will focus on several important topics in administrative law today. Selected from over 80 proposals, the seven panelists explore issues pressing upon legislators, agency and Executive Branch officials, and judges, such as the politicization of agencies, the judicial review challenges posed by shared regulatory authority, and the emphasis on reason-giving in rulemaking. The participants will use both historical and empirical analysis to describe the current administrative-law landscape and prescribe alternatives for its future.
