Many of the rules governing our society are made not by Congress, but by federal agencies in a process called rulemaking, a fact that has drawn criticism from the current administration and fueled its work to restrain the “deep state,” or federal bureaucracy. Law professor Ilan Wurman joins us to offer a review of key cases and his insights into where things go from here.
Our annual Constitution Day Celebration offers a space for all to gain insight on constitutional questions essential to understanding American democracy.
Ilan Wurman is the Julius E. Davis Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota, where he teaches administrative law and constitutional law. He previously taught at Arizona State University. He writes primarily on the Fourteenth Amendment, administrative law, separation of powers, and constitutionalism. His academic writing has appeared in the Yale Law Journal, the Stanford Law Review, the University of Chicago Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, the Virginia Law Review, the Duke Law Journal, the Minnesota Law Review, the Notre Dame Law Review, and the Texas Law Review among other journals.
Professor Wurman is the author of a casebook, Administrative Law Theory and Fundamentals: An Integrated Approach (Foundation Press 2d ed. 2024). He is also the author of A Debt Against the Living: An Introduction to Originalism (Cambridge 2017), and The Second Founding: An Introduction to the Fourteenth Amendment (Cambridge 2020). His next book, The Constitution of 1789: An Introduction, is also forthcoming with Cambridge University Press.
