- Friday, 9/9: Professor David Rubenstein, Washburn University School of Law
"Delegating Supremacy?"
This presentation targets "administrative preemption," a subject that has drawn exponential attention from the Court and several prominent scholars in recent years. Professor Rubenstein challenges the constitutionality of administrative preemption and imagines a federalism system where agencies are stripped of the power to create supreme federal law. He hopes to offer three major contributions to the evolving literature. First, he proposes to disenfranchise agencies of the supremacy power which broadens the field of doctrinal possibility. While other commentators have suggested means to limit the scope of administrative preemption, Professor Rubenstein's approach would extricate the practice from our system. Second, he hypothesizes the dynamics of a federalism system without administrative supremacy. Third, he normatively defends a system without administrative supremacy. - Friday, 9/30: Professor Kelly Feeley, Stetson University College of Law
Professor Feeley will discuss the intersection of negligent hiring in schools and sexting and whether the current negligent hiring laws are predictable and flexible enough to address sexting and other technologically based crimes.
