<p>The development of federal administrative law over the past 80 years has had a profound impact on American society.&nbsp; From 1986 to 2016,&nbsp;Justice Antonin Scalia&nbsp;made major and sometimes controversial contributions to the development of administrative law.&nbsp; Although he is primarily remembered for his theory of&nbsp;originalism in interpreting the Constitution, he also advanced theories&nbsp;crucial to administrative law, including theories of standing, statutory interpretation, the unitary executive and judicial deference to administrative agencies.&nbsp; His writings, especially his dissents, are known for&nbsp;their&nbsp;biting and often witty analyses.&nbsp; During his almost 30 years on the Supreme Court, Justice Scalia was&nbsp;a towering figure in the development of administrative law.</p>
<p>Widener University Commonwealth Law School Professors Jill Family and&nbsp;Michael Dimino&nbsp;will discuss Justice Scalia's contributions in various areas of administrative law and&nbsp;Associate Professor Anna Hemingway, Director of Legal Writing at Widener Law Commonwealth, will discuss Justice Scalia's sometimes controversial legal writing style.</p>
