Furman Center Fall Speaker Series - Jack Lienke

Please join the Furman Center for a special lunch-and-lecture event on Tuesday, November 7th at 1 p.m. featuring Jack Lienke, Regulatory Policy Director at the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU Law. He will be presenting "Justifying Redistributive Regulations" in person at Furman Hall, Room 214 at NYU Law as well as over Zoom.

This event is open to members of the NYU community. Please register using the RSVP link here. Join via Zoom here.

In this presentation, Jack will discuss how conventional cost-benefit analysis tends to obscure rather than illuminate agencies’ (often distributional) reasons for issuing such transfer regulations—generating unnecessary legal risk for the agencies and unnecessary confusion for the public. He will share a new analytic framework for transfer regulations that recognizes the particular relevance of distributional concerns to their promulgation and the distinct challenges of assessing their net benefits.

Jack brings deep expertise in federal environmental and administrative law, having participated in dozens of regulatory proceedings and authored amicus briefs before the Supreme Court and other federal courts. He serves as an adjunct professor at both NYU and Brooklyn Law Schools and is the co-author of "Struggling for Air: Power Plants and the 'War on Coal.'" - you can find more information about the event at the registration link.

Lunch will be provided starting at 12:45 p.m. before the 1 p.m. presentation.
