The Duke Law Journal will be holding a symposium on administrative law issues raised by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and it occurred to them (and me) that some readers of this blog might be interested in submitting.
From the Call for Papers: “[The hurricanes] have also brought a number of important administrative law issues into sharp relief. For example, important questions remain to be answered about federalism, including the legal limits
on federal involvement and the proper resolution of conflicts between federal and state agencies in crisis scenarios; the intertwined history of domestic crises and the growth of the administrative state; judicial review of administrative decisions made under crisis conditions; governmental liability for pre-crisis administrative failings or post-crisis responses; emergency powers in times of domestic emergency; and the role of race and class in administrative responses to catastrophe.”
The full Call for Papers is available here.
