This issue unites timely scholarship on one of the most rapidly evolving legal landscapes of our time, administrative law, with cutting-edge analysis on artificial intelligence and corpus linguistics\u2019 role in legal decision making, post-<em>Chevron<\/em> changes to agency deference in the national security context, and <em>stare decisis<\/em> after <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>We are both proud and delighted to once again host Pacific Legal Foundation in Washington, D.C. This year\u2019s day-long symposium entitled <em>The Future of Agency Adjudication After SEC v. Jarkesy<\/em> featured the work of noted authors who came together for panels moderated by distinguished judges who gave graciously of their time. This symposium issue includes pieces by Professors Jason Mazzone and Jed Shugerman, Frank Garrison, John Kerkhoff, Adam Griffin, Michael Showalter, Louis Capozzi, Eric Heigis, Russ Ryan, and Elizabeth Slattery, the Pacific Legal Foundation\u2019s Director of Constitutional Scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Pacific Legal Foundation, the Journal is indebted to Judges David Porter, John Nalbandian, and Trevor McFadden, for moderating; and to Paul Clement, of Clement &amp; Murphy PLLC and the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States, who delivered our keynote address.<\/p>\n<p>Following the symposium, the issue includes three student notes. Alan Huang, L\u2019 25, discusses the path forward for agency deference in national security contexts in the wake of <em>Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo<\/em>. Alex Hoyer, L\u2019 25, evaluates the state of the law of <em>stare decisis<\/em> and analyzes the lessons taught, and the questions left unanswered, by <em>Dobbs<\/em>\u2019 teachings on what is required to overrule an incorrect prior decision of the Supreme Court. Finally, Natalie Simon offers a forward-looking joinder of two pressing contemporary topics\u2014corpus linguistics and AI\u2014 and analyzes how they might together be used in judicial decision making.<\/p>\n<p>The Journal\u2019s Editorial Board is finally indebted to the diligent editors whose commitment and attention to detail made this second issue of Volume 23 a reality, and to so many of those editors who worked behind the scenes to plan, staff, and stage our spring symposium. To our readers, thank you for your interest in our Journal. We hope you will find the scholarship in this issue both edifying and enjoyable, and we wish you all the best until our next and final issue of Volume 23.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Hyland<br \/>\nEditor-in-Chief, Volume 23<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Reader, The Georgetown Journal of Law &amp; Public Policy is pleased to present the second issue of Volume 23.
