Even though the immediate and ubiquitous presence of administrative law provides sufficient and compelling justification for a program, administrative agencies in a number of fields are pursuing particularly vigorous agendas now. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security represents the largest restructuring of the federal government in two generations. Enforcement and regulatory responses to massive corporate misconduct and energetic investigatory and enforcement efforts of state prosecutors, have heightened scrutiny of business activities that affect investors and public confidence in the financial markets.
This conference provides an overview of recent developments in various areas of administrative law at the federal level and in Massachusetts. Workshops offer you the opportunity to discuss substantive developments in several fields and hear advice from agency lawyers or experienced practitioners and judges about how to practice effectively before specific agencies. You will benefit from the viewpoints of administrative law judges and state and federal appellate judges on legal review of administrative agency action. Attend this unique comprehensive and cutting edge conference to improve your knowledge of administrative practice.
