Last month was a particularly good one for administrative law scholarship on SSRN, with a number of great new papers from the “who’s who” and “risings stars” in the field. Unfortunately I lack the bandwidth this month to comment on each piece. But here is the August 2017 edition of the most-downloaded recent papers (those […]
Loyola Chicago has a terrific Center for Compliance Studies, which is directed by Ryan Meade. Last year I participated in the Center’s first annual symposium “Complying with Law: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue.” I’m fascinated by the field of compliance, and the role of lawyers — and administrative law — in it. Last year’s symposium was a terrific opportunity […]
The AALS New Voices in Administrative Law is a terrific program, and the AdLaw Section has issued its annual call for participants for the 2018 AALS Annual Meeting (this year in San Diego!).

In the latest issue of the Administrative & Regulatory Law News, outgoing ABA AdLaw Section Chair Renee Landers has call for administrative law practitioners and scholars to join the ABA AdLaw Section. With permission, I’m posting her Chair’s Comment here. I want to echo Renee’s call that you consider joining the ABA AdLaw Section, which […]
Last year I blogged about a terrific symposium hosted by the Florida State University College of Law, entitled Environmental Law Without Courts. Florida State’s Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law just published the symposium issue, which includes short essays by the various presenters and shorter reactions by the assigned respondents. My contribution, Lawmaking Within Federal Agencies […]
As I first noted on the blog back three years ago, the Administrative Law Section of Jotwell—The Journal of Things We Like (Lots)—is a terrific resource for administrative law practitioners and scholars. Each month Jotwell’s Administrative Law Section publishes a short review of a current piece of administrative law scholarship, usually authored by one of […]
Lots of great new adlaw scholarship this summer! Here is the July 2017 edition of the most-downloaded recent papers (those announced in the last 60 days) from SSRN’s U.S. Administrative Law eJournal, which is edited by Bill Funk.

Last month over at Jotwell my colleague Peter Shane published a terrific review of one of my favorite new administrative law articles of the year: Miriam Seifter’s Gubernatorial Administration, which is forthcoming in the Harvard Law Review. Miriam’s article is brilliant, and such an important contribution to the field and a call for more of us […]
Each summer the Southeastern Association of Law Schools (SEALS) hosts an amazing conference of law professors (some day I will go!), full of great panels and discussion on hot topics and cutting-edge research in law and policy. This year’s conference was no exception. But this year SEALS added a terrific innovation of providing recaps on many […]
Since I last blogged about the Portman-Heitkamp Regulatory Accountability Act being reported favorably out of committee in May, there hasn’t been any movement on the legislative front. A number of additional administrative law scholars, however, have weighed in, and the legislation continues to get serious attention in policy circles. For instance, Cass Sunstein has a generally […]

The ideal candidate would […]
Last week I had the opportunity to debate/discuss the modern administrative state with Stephen Presser at an event hosted by the Federalist Society’s Austin, Texas, Lawyers’ Chapter. In preparation for our discussion, I read Professor Presser’s fascinating new book Law Professors: Three Centuries of Shaping American Law. Although the book is not focused on administrative law, I […]
Next week I’ll be heading to Austin, Texas, to participate in the Texas Attorney General Office’s 2017 Constitutional Law Conference on July 19, 2017. I’m on the first panel entitled “The Past, Present and Future of Judicial Deference to Federal Agencies,” with Aditya Bamzai and Kristin Hickman and moderated by Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller.

I’m still recovering from an exhausting but awesome Second Annual Administrative Law New Scholarship Roundtable, which my colleague Peter Shane and I hosted at Ohio State last week.
