Congress can identify problems that need to be solved but cannot always devise proper solutions. Professor Christopher Walker explains that this is where the role of administrative agencies comes in. Agencies pass specialized rules and regulations to solve problems. The vast majority of laws that govern daily life now come from agencies, rather than Congress. The question is - how can such agencies be held accountable for their actions when they are unelected?
Christopher J. Walker is the John W. Bricker Professor of Law at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and Director of the Moritz Washington, D.C., Summer Program. Professor Walker’s research focuses primarily on administrative law, regulation, and law and policy at the agency level.
