The Center for the Study of the Administrative State at George Mason’s Antonin Scalia Law School has another terrific conference planned. This conference, entitled Rethinking Due Process, will be held on April 21, 2017, at the Antonin Scalia Law School. You can register for free here. Here’s the conference description:

You are invited to a public policy conference on Rethinking Due Process, on Friday, April 21, 2017, at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University.

Due process questions now arise everywhere in contexts as varied as immigration, national security, freedom of speech, education policy, and Securities and Exchange Commission adjudication. An essential aspect of the rule of law, due process constrains government action. This conference aims to rethink the meaning and application of due process. Scholars and practitioners will examine questions about the constitutional foundations of due process; the due process requirements of agency action; and the due process of administrative adjudication.

The luncheon keynote will feature a discussion between Judge Douglas Ginsburg of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and Professor Philip Hamburger of Columbia Law School. The full schedule is below.

Registration is free and open to the public. For questions about this upcoming event, contact Leah Virbitsky at lvirbits@gmu.edu.
