It’s a new year, and we have a first with the SSRN Administrative Law Reading List series: There are only *seven* papers in the normal top ten. Weird. Maybe Professor Sohoni’s amazing paper on the major question doctrine counts as four papers?

In all events, here is the December 2022 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.

1. The Major Questions Quartet by Mila Sohoni (136 Harvard Law Review 262 (2022))
2. Impatient Consumers by Cass Sunstein
3. Congressional Power, Public Rights and Non-Article III Adjudication by John M. Golden and Thomas H. Lee (98 Notre Dame Law Review forthcoming)
4. Sunshine Laws Behind the Clouds: Limited Transparency in a Time of National Emergency by Ira P. Robbins (56 UC Davis Law Review (2022))
5. The Coming Onslaught of ‘Algorithmic Fairness’ Regulations by Neil Chilson and Adam Thierer (Regulatory Transparency Project of the Federalist Society (2022))
6. The Foreign Affairs Function and the APA by Stephen Migala
7. Statutory Interpretation and Agency Disgorgement Power by Caprice L. Roberts (96 St. John’s Law Review forthcoming)

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. You can check out the full rankings, updated daily, here.

Thanks to my terrific research assistant Neena Menon for helping put together this monthly post. I’ll report back in February with the next edition.
