Major Questions About Agency Authority: A practical discussion on the impact of limiting administrative authority

Our goal for this Symposium is to humanize administrative law, by discussing recent affronts to the administrative state, and the human impact of limiting agencies' scope of authority. We plan to have one panel discuss the issue of deregulation and the basis of recent decisions that limit agency authority--including West Virginia v. EPA​​​ and Jarkesy v. SEC from the Fifth Circuit--and another panel discussing the ways in which limited agency authority would impact people.
