Here is the December 2021 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. With the law review submission cycle opening up this month and next, I’m excited to read the new scholarship folks have been working on that will increasingly be posted to SSRN in the coming weeks and months.
