[Update: This post was originally published on November 15, 2021. With the annual AALS new scholars workshop this week, I thought I’d re-up the post, which seems to be still pretty current as to resources for new and aspiring administrative law scholars.] With the ABA Administrative Law Section’s launch event for the ABA Program for […]
The D.C. Circuit cleared out some long-running cases this week, releasing two opinions from three cases argued in September and December 2020, plus a third opinion in a case from this term. The two older cases drew dissents from Judge Millett. If you’re keeping count, that’s four cases, three opinions, and two dissents, which encompassed […]
The annual ABA Administrative Law Conference is my favorite conference each year, and this year’s lineup is once again excellent. Unfortunately, we will be fully online/virtual again, but the upside is that it will be more accessible to those nationwide and the online platform allows you to watch the panels you couldn’t catch live for […]

In the “bad old days,” the D.C. Circuit was the butt of many a joke – deserved or not – about the sleep-inducing qualities of its opinions. When I was running the gauntlet of the nominations process, a White House lawyer asked me, in all seriousness, “Tom, how can you stand the thought of spending […]
Since joining the Supreme Court, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh have signaled their desire to reconsider the non-delegation doctrine,[1] a moribund principle of judicial review intended to police the limits of Congress’s ability to delegate its legislative functions. The non-delegation doctrine derives from Article I of the U.S. Constitution and traces its lineage to […]

As befits the Weeds’s […]
