Summary
Expertise is not a new concept for administrative lawyers. One of the major justifications for the administrative state is the expertise it brings to governing. Felix Frankfurter once opined that “expertise is the lifeblood of the administrative process”1 and few administrative lawyers would doubt him. It is a term that plays a pivotal role in administrative law reasoning.2
