Judge Williams on Administrative Law and Regulatory Policy (Memorial Symposium for Judge Stephen F. Williams)

On September 17, 2021, the Gray Center hosted an event in memory of Judge Stephen F. Williams: a conference for new papers written for a symposium on his enormous legacy in law and liberty. We are grateful to our authors, who discussed their newly completed papers at this event, hosted at the Decatur House in Washington, D.C., and followed by a reception where we were all able to continue the conversation.

The first panel was introduced by Adam White and focused on Judge Williams’s work on administrative law and regulatory policy. It featured a panel discussion of new research papers by Ambassador C. Boyden Gray of Boyden Gray & Associates PLLC, Columbia Law School’s Thomas Merrill, and Lewis & Clark Law School’s James Huffman, which was moderated by Gray Center Co-Executive Director, Jennifer Mascott.
