Eighth Annual Transatlantic Legal Forum, October 23-24, 2015
Administrative law reflects the hope that modern societies can be governed not only liberally and democratically but also rationally, sensibly, and with tolerable efficiency. On both sides of the Atlantic, that once-confident conviction now meets with considerable skepticism, in somewhat different ways and for different reasons.At the Transatlantic Law Forum’s Eighth Annual Conference, prominent scholars, judges, and lawyers from European countries and from the United States examined the administrative state and its law from a wide range of perspectives. Some panels addressed overarching topics, such as judicial review and increased public discontent with administrative governance. Other panels examined varying administrative (law) responses to a common set of more specific problems and challenges, from energy policy to financial regulation and central banks.
These are working papers from the Forum:
- Agency Finance in the Age of Executive Government
Christopher DeMuth Sr. & Michael S. Greve - The Limits of Legal Accountability of the European Central Bank
Marco Goldoni - The Guardianship of the Public Interest: A British Tale of Contestable Administrative Law
Adam Tomkins
The Legal Response to the Next Financial Crisis
