The Role of Government Regulation and the CFPB’s Approach, with Special Guest Cary Coglianese, Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Director of the Penn Program on Regulation - a podcast by Ballard Spahr LLP

We first discuss the practicalities and potential impact of implementing Director Chopra’s call in a recent blog post for simplification of consumer finance regulations and simple bright-line rules. We then examine the role and objectives of regulation such as predictability and responsiveness to stakeholder input and consider whether the CFPB’s current approach to regulation, including its abandonment of official staff commentary updates, furthers those objectives. We also discuss the recent SCOTUS decision in EPA v. West Virginia and consider its implications for future challenges to CFPB actions. 

Alan Kaplinsky, Ballard Spahr Senior Counsel, hosts the conversation.
