Lots of AdLaw and Regulation Programming at This Week’s Federalist Society Lawyers Convention in DC

The 2016 Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention takes place later this week in Washington, DC. The conference theme this year centers on the jurisprudence and legacy of Justice Scalia. In light of the presidential election surprise last week, the theme will no doubt be more prospective — and not just retrospective — than originally planned. You can check out the full schedule and register here.

Perhaps not surprisingly there is also a lot of terrific programming around administrative law and regulation. The signature administrative law panel is on Saturday, November 19th:

Administrative Law & Regulation: The Evolution of Justice Scalia’s Views on Administrative Law
11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
State Room

  • Moderator: Mr. Eugene Scalia, Partner, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher
