Events

“Adrian Vermeule on the Current State of Administrative Law: An Interdisciplinary Conversation” is the 13th annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics and Culture event set to take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. on Sept. 21 at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law.

Critics of the contemporary administrative state contend that it amounts to a regime of quasi-law; to a sustained and highly reticulated response to what Karl Schmitt termed a “state of emergency;” and perhaps occasionally to the agent of what Hannah Arendt termed “administrative murder.”

Answering these and other criticisms of contemporary administrative law, Adrian Vermeule, the Ralph S. Tyler Professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard Law School, is the scheduled featured speaker at the John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics and Culture.

Vermeule will be joined in conversation by scholars of law, political science, economics, philosophy, sociology and theology.
