Notice & Comment is published jointly by the Yale Journal on Regulation (JREG) and the American Bar Association Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, and it is sponsored by Davis Polk & Wardell LLP. The blog facilitates dialogue between legal scholars, policymakers, and practitioners on a wide range of regulatory topics including administrative law generally, financial regulation, corporate law and governance, environmental law, bankruptcy law, and tax law.

Articles published on Notice and Comment reflect the views of the individuals that prepared them, and do not necessarily represent the position of the American Bar Association, the Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, or the editors of Yale Journal on Regulation.

Guest Submissions

In addition to posts by our regular contributors, we publish guest posts from established and rising academics as well as government lawyers and officials, policymakers, and researchers at think tanks and similar law and policy organizations. Absent exceptional circumstances, the blog does not publish work from students or practitioners. Similarly, because the blog focuses on U.S. administrative law and regulatory practice, it generally does not publish posts unrelated to that core focus, including posts on administrative law and regulatory practice outside of the United States. Longer and more formal pieces of legal scholarship should be submitted to JREG’s Bulletin or Print Edition.

We prefer to accept posts that meet the following formatting criteria:

• Between 1000 and 1500 words in length
• Citations included via in-text hyperlinks as opposed to footnotes
• Submitted as a Microsoft Word file
• Includes a one- or two-sentence biography for each author at the end of the piece

To submit a guest post, or for more information on how to do so, please email jreg-blog@yale.edu. Please do not reach out to any other person or email address regarding submissions. While we do not prohibit the use of AI in drafting blog posts, we regularly reject submissions where its use has clearly degraded the quality, originality, and/or credibility of the writing. 

Errata and Responses

If you notice any errors in a Notice and Comment blog post, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. That happens from time to time, as this is a blog that publishes views in real time with light editing, and it can be promptly addressed by the blog post’s author. That’s one benefit of a blog. Another is that when there is a substantive disagreement, we welcome contrasting views and can publish those in real time.

The ABA Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice is an important actual and virtual gathering place for those of us who live and breathe administrative law—judges, lawyers, government officials, specialists in government relations, and teachers and students of law. It is a place for education, communication, networking, and professional enjoyment. We are administrative law geeks, who proudly pronounce “Administrative Law! Everybody does it!”

Want to get involved in the Section? Our various committees put together a wide array of webinars, brown bags, conferences, and various social and other events. Committees also publish a weekly blog, a quarterly journal, a law review, and numerous books about important and trending administrative law topics.
