Earlier this month the Center for the Study of the Administrative State hosted a terrific public policy conference on the Hill entitled The Time for Regulatory Reform in Congress. We discussed most of the legislative regulatory reform proposals pending in Congress as well as a number of additional ideas that scholars have suggested. Video of the panels and […]
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. Here is the February 2017 edition of the most-downloaded recent papers (those announced in the last 60 days) from SSRN’s U.S. Administrative Law eJournal, which […]
If the first blog post by Susan Rose-Ackerman is any indication, the new Admin Law Blog (on comparative administrative law) should be really terrific. From the welcome post: Welcome to the Admin Law Blog! This is a forum for the discussion of ideas and developments of interest to scholars of administrative law across the common law world. It […]
Last March the Missouri Law Review hosted a terrific symposium, organized by Professor Erin Morrow Hawley, entitled A Future Without the Administrative State? (video here). The published issue from the symposium was just posted to the Law Review‘s website. I tweeted out thread of summaries/links to each piece here. Professor Hawley’s introduction is definitely a […]

On March 2, 2017, the Center for the Study of the Administrative State is hosting a public policy conference on the Hill entitled The Time for Regulatory Reform in Congress. The Center’s director Neomi Rao and I have organized this event, and it should be a lot of fun. It’s free, with food, so register here. […]
Over at The Surly Subgroup blog, Leandra Lederman just wrapped up hosting a terrific mini-symposium entitled The Future of Tax Administration and Enforcement. This online symposium grew out of an in-person discussion group at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Law Schools last month. Professor Lederman has some concluding thoughts here, and my […]
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. We have new executive orders and other executive actions, chatter about the removal of the CFPB director, agencies with new leadership with new agendas, unified government with perhaps unusual alliances for […]
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 […]

The panel consisted of leading experts on administrative law exceptionalism from three distinct regulatory fields: Jill Family for immigration, Kristin Hickman for tax, […]
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 […]

Here is the December 2016 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.

Yesterday Ron Cass, Chris DeMuth, and I filed an amicus brief in Gloucester County School Board v. G.G. — the Supreme Court case that considers the U.S. Department of Education’s interpretation of Title IX with respect transgender students and access to bathrooms in public schools. We do not weigh in on the merits of the statutory […]
