D.C. Circuit Scholarship

Over the weekend, as part of my weekly review of D.C. Circuit decisions, I included a footnote listing many articles written by D.C. Circuit judges. Without question, this list is incomplete, but it is a good place to start for scholars or advocates seeking to get a sense of the Court’s judges and their scholarly interests. (For instance, as you will see, Judge Edwards may be the nation’s leading proponent of the idea that scholars need to pay more attention to the practical needs of the legal profession.) Again, this list is not complete, but for ease of access, here it is as a standalone post:
