Dear Colleagues:


It is with great pleasure that I announce the 2005 Administrative Law Conference of the ABA Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice. In addition to our annual Developments in Administrative Law review, which should bring you up to date with the major developments in administrative and regulatory law, we have a wide array of fantastic programs with leading experts on the important administrative and regulatory law issues of the day. We are pleased to present a timely panel on challenges to the administrative process for government in responding to natural disasters. We are highlighting this program as a plenary to spark a critical discussion on the role of the administrative process in improving federal, state, and local response to catastrophic challenges to life and property. In addition, we are proud to feature our first E.U. Symposium, showcasing some preliminary findings from our important Project on Administrative Law of the European Union. As a gracious end to the conference, we will close with a reception and dinner at the Cosmos Club, where the Ambassador from the EU will join us and make remarks. Please join us for what promises to be a most interesting and fun conference.
