Marchant to present papers in Korea

Professor Gary Marchant will deliver two talks in South Korea in June, one on the regulatory analysis of regulations within federal government agencies, and the other about the federal rulemaking process in the United States.

Marchant will present his paper, "Regulatory Analysis in the United States: Underlying Tensions and Contested Legitimacy," on Friday, June 26, at the 2009 Korean Public Law Association's conference, "Evaluation of Legislation & Regulatory Reform." He is the only American professor to be invited to the conference in Seoul and will join academics from Japan, Germany and Korea.

On Saturday, June 27, Marchant will speak at a conference, "Conflict Resolution in the Legislative Process," at the Ewha Womans University, also in Seoul. He will deliver a paper, co-authored by 2L Lyn Gulley, "The Rise and Fall of the `Reg Neg' in the United States."

His research interests include the use of genetic information in environmental regulation, risk and the precautionary principle, legal aspects of personalized medicine, and regulation of emerging technologies such as nanotechnology, neuroscience and biotechnology. Marchant teaches courses in Environmental Law, Law, Science & Technology, Genetics and the Law, Biotechnology: Science, Law and Policy, and Nanotechnology Law & Policy.
