NYU Law Forum—The Administrative State in Turmoil

PLEASE RSVP HERE

At this Forum, the current general counsel of the US Department of Health and Human Services will join a leading attorney in private practice (and former top federal regulatory official) to discuss the implications of recent US Supreme Court rulings that promise to refashion the administrative state. While the decision to overturn Chevron has attracted the most attention, it was just one of several cases that cabined the role of federal agencies and opened the door to new avenues for challenging government regulation. The ultimate effect of these rulings is ambiguous. They may impose meaningful obstacles on government administrators, or agencies may have anticipated and planned around the Court’s rulings. They may create opportunities for businesses to challenge unfavorable regulations, but at the same time, encourage attacks on long-standing rules upon which businesses predictably rely. Two NYU Law faculty members who are experts in administrative law will moderate this discussion, which will explore the on-the-ground consequences of these momentous decisions.  

• Samuel R. Bagenstos, General Counsel, US Department of Health and Human Services

• Noah Rosenblum (co-moderator), Associate Professor of Law, NYU Law
