Here is the March 2015 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 William Funk. For more on why SSRN and this eJournal are such terrific resources for administrative law scholars and practitioners, check out my first post on the subject here. […]
With Republicans in control of both Houses of Congress, one should expect more legislative efforts to reign in the modern administrative state. And, indeed, about three-dozen such reform proposals have been introduced in Congress since the first of the year. It is a daunting task to try to keep track of all of these proposals, […]
With the spring law review submission process winding down, I’ll be spending the next few months trying to catch up on covering the terrific new administrative law scholarship via this Administrative Law Bridge Series. In this post, I’d like to highlight three important empirical studies on immigration adjudication. Full disclosure: Immigration adjudication is an area […]
I’ve previously blogged about the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) here and here, and I’m a big fan of ACUS’s role in bridging the gap between the theory and practice of administrative law and improving administrative governance in the United States. ACUS has just announced a request for proposals to serve as a consultant on […]
Last week my co-blogger Jeff Pojanowski and I participated in a Federalist Society teleforum (moderated by Adam White) on the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association. In Mortgage Bankers, the Court held in a unanimous decision that a federal agency is not required to use notice-and-comment rulemaking to revise a prior interpretation […]

The latest issue of the Yale Law Journal (and Yale Law Journal Forum) has a terrific series on the hot topic of cost-benefit analysis in financial regulation. I had planned on featuring John Coates’s important article-length contribution in the AdLaw Bridge Series, but Fabrizio Di Mascio over at the Osservatorio AIR beat me to the punch […]
I’ve previously blogged about the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) here and here, and I’m a big fan of ACUS’s role in bridging the gap between the theory and practice of administrative law and improving administrative governance in the United States. Yesterday ACUS announced that it is looking to hire a new attorney advisor. […]
Last fall I featured Mila Sohoni’s then-forthcoming University of Pennsylvania Law Review article, “The Power to Privilege,” in this Administrative Law Bridge Series. My post is here, and the article was published last month and can be downloaded here. In this article, Professor Sohoni explores a recent legislative development—from the Affordable Care Act—where Congress has delegated […]
A hot topic in administrative law is how to deal with congressional delegation of lawmaking authority to multiple agencies—with Jody Freeman and Jim Rossi’s terrific 2012 article coming immediately to mind. Most of this inquiry has focused on agency rulemaking and the role of the President (via the OMB/OIRA) in coordinating multi-agency regulatory efforts. So […]

The intersection of criminal law and administrative law is a fascinating one. It has been explored primarily and extensively in the context of immigration—so much so that there’s a whole field called crimmigration, with a terrific blog by César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández that covers the field. And most (though not all) of the focus there […]
The Constitution vests all legislative powers in Congress, yet Congress grants expansive lawmaking authority to federal agencies. The conventional model for understanding this relationship between Congress and the administrative state—as positive political theorists have long explored—is to view it in principal-agent terms. In other words, Congress delegates authority to federal agencies, and those agencies are […]
Over at Jotwell — the Journal of Things We Like (Lots) — Richard Murphy reviews one of Adrian Vermeule’s latest essays, “Rationally Arbitrary Decisions (in Administrative Law),” which is available on SSRN here. I should probably confess at the outset that Professor Vermeule is one of my favorite administrative law scholars, and I devour everything […]
