The conference will take place Nov. 7–8 at the Georgetown University Hotel & Conference Center, 3800 Reservoir Rd NW, Washington, DC 20007.

“As chair of the Section, I’m proud the Section is presenting a top-notch roster of subject-matter experts in the area of administrative and regulatory law,” Whitley said. “These fields are changing rapidly amid shifting political priorities and increasing globalization, and it’s critical that practitioners stay up to date so they can continue to provide informed, effective counsel to their clients.”
