Mascott, Cecot Named Campbell Visiting Fellows at Stanford’s Hoover Institution

Assistant Professors Jennifer Mascott and Caroline Cecot have been named Campbell Visiting Fellows at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. The program brings together a set of researchers as visitors who are focused on research in one general topic area during a single two‐week period. Scholars exchange ideas, interact with each other, work collaboratively if they wish, and meet with other scholars in their field at the Hoover Institution.

Mascott’s fellowship was in the program’s Class on Law in mid‐January. She presented a paper on transparency and procedure in federal agency adjudication titled Adjudicating in the Shadows. The class was convened by Jack Landman Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow.

Mascott is co‐executive director of the C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State at Scalia Law. She writes and teaches in the areas of Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, the Separation of Powers, and Federal Courts.

Cecot is joining an inaugural Class on Environment and Energy, which aligns with the Hoover Institution’s new program in environment and energy. She will spend a week at the Stanford campus in February, and will return later in the spring. Terry Anderson, Hoover Senior Fellow, and Dominic Parker, Hoover Visiting Fellow, are convening the class.

At Scalia Law, Cecot focuses her research on Administrative Law, Environmental and Energy Law, and agency practice of cost‐benefit analysis, and she applies her expertise in law and economics to evolving issues in these areas.
