Since President Trump’s election, there has been an explosion of proposed rulemaking and proposed reversals to existing regulations. These proposed administrative changes have touched almost every aspect of environmental and natural resources law, including the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Clean Air Act. These rulemaking activities are being undertaken with record speed and in many instances are not following established procedures and processes. Participants in this session will explore these issues through an innovative format designed to promote lively and engaging conversations. The workshop will begin with several short talks on cross-cutting administrative law themes followed by moderated discussions in small groups. The session will close with brief remarks mean to synthesize some of the key themes that emerge in the plenary and small group sessions and connect these themes to scholarship and teaching.
