PLF-Cato Joint Litigation Strategy Forum for Administrative State Reform: Previewing the Second Trump Administration

As history has shown, whenever there is a party changeover in the White House, the administrative state undergoes a dramatic transformation—virtually overnight. 

In our next PLF-Cato Joint Strategy Forum, we’re exploring the legal threats and opportunities associated with the upcoming transfer of executive authority. How will the outgoing administration try to entrench its midnight rules? Will the incoming administration take shortcuts on appointing personnel? These are the sorts of questions we will address. 

The discussion will be led by Susan Dudley, former administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and founder of George Washington University’s Regulatory Studies Program, and Thomas Berry, director of Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center.
