The annual meeting of the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) is next week in San Francisco, and there is a lot of terrific administration law and regulation programming this year. Based on a quick review, I’ve posted below the various panels that touch on administrative law and regulation. I’ve also included a couple panels from the parallel Federalist Society Faculty Conference, which is free and open to the public. If I’ve missed anything, please let me know, and I’ll update the post.
