CAFE Insider 1/2: Do Agencies Have Agency? (with Rachel Barkow)

In this special episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Joyce Vance interviews Rachel Barkow, while Preet is out. Barkow, who recently became a CAFE contributor, is a professor at NYU Law School and author of Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration. She also served on the U.S. Sentencing Commission from 2013 to 2019.In the interview, Barkow discusses consequential administrative law cases before the Supreme Court:– Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which asks the justices to overturn the long-standing Chevron doctrine that says courts should defer to federal agencies’ interpretation of ambiguous laws; – CFPB v. Community Financial Services Association of America, which could invalidate the funding structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; and– SEC v. Jarkesy, which asks whether SEC enforcement actions are consistent with the 7th Amendment’s right to a jury trial.Preet will be back next week.We hope you’re finding CAFE Insider informative.
