Jotwell: Family discusses Damon-Feng

Jill Family reviews Haiyun Damon-Feng‘s article Administrative Reliance, 73 Duke L.J. __ (forthcoming 2024), on JOTWELL (the Journal of Things We Like (Lots)). Family’s comments–Making Judicial Review of Reliance More Reliable–frame the conversation this way:

In her article Administrative Reliance, Professor Damon-Feng dives into the reliance phenomenon in administrative law. One administration develops a policy, many rely on it, and then the next administration changes course. Should reliance interests matter when courts review the change of course? If so, how much, and why? Professor Damon-Feng concludes, based on her examination of the implicated values, that the Supreme Court should adopt a more purposeful and disciplined approach to considering reliance interests.
