The Jacksonville Federal Court Bar Association is inviting Mark Seidenfeld, Patricia A. Dore Professor of Administrative Law at Florida State University College of Law, to discuss the modern use of executive orders and their impact on administrative law.
The university’s website says he is one of the country’s leading scholars on federal administrative law and author of one the most cited administrative law articles: “A Civic Republican Justification for the Bureaucratic State,” published in the Harvard Law Review.
The lunch program is noon-1 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Bryan Simpson U.S. Courthouse in Jacksonville.
Beginning with George Washington in 1789, U.S. presidents have issued more than 14,300 executive orders under Article II of the Constitution, impacting such issues as immigration, civil rights, health care, education, the economy and more.
Topics will include what is an executive order? How do they differ from laws passed by Congress? When can the president use executive orders and what are their limits?
