Annual Survey of American Law 2009 Symposium -- Panel 2

PANEL 2: ISSUES OF FEDERALISM
Agency preemption moves responsibility for an issue to the federal government. This reduces the ability for state and subnational governments to experiment or to cater to local preferences. To what extent do states actually differ in these areas? And, when they do develop unique policies, is it through tort or some other mechanism?
