Description
Summary:The short tide of this Symposium is "Getting Beyond Cynicism." The very wording suggests both an aspiration and an anxiety. The aspiration is to move beyond a conversation, inspired and informed by public choice scholarship, that many administrative lawyers find confining and unhelpful. The anxiety is that beyond the often cynical conclusions of the public choice literature there may be no identifiable competitor for the hearts and minds of administrative law scholars. There is an old saying in politics that perhaps applies by analogy to legal theory: 'You can't beat somebody with nobody."
