Webinar | 11.12.20, 7:00 AM EST - 8:00 AM EST
CPSC Commissioner Peter Feldman Discusses the Use of Digital Technology in Regulating the Distribution of Consumer Products
Join us for a look beyond the pandemic to explore how digitization and technology are changing the retail and consumer products industries. In this moderated discussion, Commissioner Peter A. Feldman will explore digitization at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Topics we will discuss include:
- The surveillance of e-commerce through the mail – as e-commerce enters the country from outside its borders, and direct-to-consumer sales increase, how will regulators ensure products coming into the US are safe?
- The use of AI at the CPSC to predict emerging trends and hazards and to inform engineering analysis – how best to leverage these technologies to have agency decision making based on science and data.
- The use of AI in actual products – hacking and safety concerns.
- Predictions on CPSC direction post-election.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
