In this episode, we sit down with Mark Mancini, an Assistant professor at Thompson Rivers University’s Faculty of Law and current PhD candidate at the UBC’s Peter A. Allard School of Law. Mark is an expert in Canadian administrative law – making waves in the legal world with his Substack ‘The Sunday Evening Administrative Review,’ and his blog Double Aspect. Mark joins us today to discuss the landmark decision from the US Supreme Court, Loper Bright, and the merits and misgivings of the bygone “Chevron Deference”.

The discussion springboards into a comparative analysis of the Canadian administrative law regime under Vavilov; the judicial review of the Emergencies Act’s invocation during the “Freedom Convoy”; and Mark’s current dissertation work analyzing the interplay between Canadian administrative law and the carceral state.

More information on the topics discussed in this episode can be found on Mark’s blog, on his X account, and in his recent publications.
