This course is built on inquiries drawn from important debates and real-world controversies relating to administrative and structural constitutional law. This seminar will examine -- from a constitutional and rule-of-law perspective -- central features of the modern administrative state, including as characterized by some of its strongest critics. Are these features genuinely worrisome, or reflective of the avoidable complexity of governance? What forces have driven the evolution of government agencies? And what have critics of relevant constitutional doctrine and administrative law gotten wrong? Our highest aim is to foster fruitful discussion about whether the administrative state is lawful, based on both theoretical material and popular discussion in the media.
