Professor Anita S. Krishnakumar, Dean Michael A. Simons, and Professor John Q. Barrett attended the Second Circuit Judicial Conference in Saratoga Springs, New York, on June 13-15. On June 15, Professor Krishnakumar moderated a panel titled, “Courts and the Administrative State,” featuring former Obama Administration Solicitor General Donald Verrilli and Professors Gilian Metzger (Columbia), David Vladeck (Georgetown), and Ilya Somin (George Mason). The panel explored recent and anticipated changes in the balance of power between the judicial and executive branches, including the future of the Chevron and Auer deference doctrines, presidential efforts to adopt policies in the wake of congressional gridlock and judicial responses to such initiatives, and the role of state courts in the modern administrative state.
