Biography

Professor Walters’s research approaches Administrative Law—the law governing process lawmaking administrative agencies—from an empirical theoretical perspective, drawing on his interdisciplinary training in Political Science. His work has been published in top law reviews such as Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review, and Columbia Law Review. Professor Walters's research is geared towards testing claims made in the area of law, utilizing survey experiments to gauge ordinary people's reasoning in process delay and judicial review standards centered on 'common sense.' He contributes to theoretical normative debates regarding the existence of bureaucracy in democracy and the implications of changes in standards of review on agency actions. In addition to teaching foundational courses like Administrative Law and Legislation, he also instructs on Energy Law and Climate Change Law.
