Associate Dean and Professor Erika Lietzan was recently appointed as a Senior Fellow of the Administrative Conference of the United States.

Dean Lietzan was previously a Public Member of the ACUS and also served as co-chair of the Joint Ad Hoc Committee of the Committee on Adjudication and Committee on Administration and Management this past year.

The Administrative Conference of the United States is a federal agency within the executive branch dedicated to improving administrative law and federal regulatory processes. It conducts applied research, and provides expert recommendations and other advice, to improve federal agency procedures.

Its membership is composed of senior federal officials, academics, and other experts from the private sector. Since 1968, ACUS has issued hundreds of recommendations, published reports and reference guides, and organized forums to improve the efficiency, adequacy, and fairness of administrative processes such as rulemaking and adjudication. Many have resulted in reforms by federal agencies, the President, Congress, and the Judicial Conference of the United States.
