Last week the editors of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s RegBlog announced that they are changing RegBlog’s name to The Regulatory Review. As far as I’m concerned, this is a very welcome change. RegBlog is a go-to source for scholars and practitioners of administrative law and regulation, but it really isn’t a blog, at […]
As I predicted in last month’s SSRN post, with the Spring law review submission cycle upon us we’re starting to see some really terrific new papers being posted to SSRN.

My colleague Peter Shane and I are hosting the Second Annual Administrative Law New Scholarship Roundtable here at The Ohio State University on June 27-28, 2017. We just issued the call for papers (really, call for abstracts), with a deadline of March 17th. Last year’s inaugural roundtable at Michigan State was a terrific event. I’ve cross-posted […]
It’s a new year for administrative law scholarship, one full of promise with so many fascinating adlaw issues arising with a change in presidential administration.

Today I start a semester-long academic fellowship in Senator Orrin Hatch’s Office to work on judicial nominations and regulatory reform legislation. Due to joining the Senate staff, my blogging (and tweeting) will be limited to conform to these new professional obligations (and the Senate ethics rules). For instance, I won’t be blogging about any potential regulatory reform […]

Over at Jotwell, Kathryn Watts reviews my co-blogger Nick Bagley’s latest article, Remedial Restraint in Administrative Law, which is forthcoming in the Columbia Law Review. We need more scholarly discussion on remedies in administrative law — Sam Bray’s new paper on nationwide injunctions comes immediately to mind — and Professor Watts’s review and Nick’s article are terrific […]
