Administrative Agencies 101: How Do Agencies Resolve Disputes?

Executive agencies have the power to investigate violations of law within their purview and adjudicate them in-house. In the past, the Supreme Court has upheld the right of agencies to develop new regulatory standards through their own in-house adjudication process.  But what gives them such authority? Are the rule of law and separation of powers compatible with agency policy making via in-house adjudication? 

Paul Ray, Boris Bershteyn, and Roger Nober — administrative law experts with first-hand experience in administrative adjudications and policy making — will debate and discuss this consequential topic. Jane Luxton, the former General Counsel of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, will moderate the discussion. 

Join us Wednesday, May 29 at the Capitol Hill Club at 12 PM for lunch and a discussion. Registration is free.
