Advanced Administrative Law (7095): This advanced course will primarily focus on litigation in the Biden and second Trump Administrations by using materials from the district court (complaints, motions for preliminary relief, motions for summary judgment, judicial decisions) so students can see how Administrative Law challenges are brought and litigated before they reach appellate courts. Examples may include challenges to: Julie Su serving as acting Labor Secretary; student loan forgiveness; the structure of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force; the (near) closure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; large-scale firings of government workers (probationary employees and RIFs); Schedule F; and presidential removal of the head of the Inter-American Foundation and the appointment of acting officials outside the Vacancies Act. Attention will be paid to reviewability, procedural mandates, and substance (statutory and constitutional). The course will also examine presidential directives related to Administrative Law under the last two Administrations, including their legality and desirability; government transparency mandates and challenges; and agency budgets and contracting. Requirements will include multiple writing and oral assignments (including short reading reflections and oral presentations, an op-ed, and a 10-15 page paper on a relevant topic). Elements used in grading: Attendance, class participation, written and oral assignments, final paper.
