Here is the January 2020 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. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks like scholarship on AI or the nondelegation make up half the list. Here’s the top ten:

2. The New Gatekeepers: Private Firms as Public Enforcers by Rory Van Loo (Virginia Law Review forthcoming)
3. Dimensions of Delegation by Cary Coglianese (167 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1849 (2019))
4. Delegation and Interpretive Discretion: Gundy, Kisor, and the Formation and Future of Administrative Law by Aditya Bamzai (133 Harvard Law Review 164 (2019))
5. Administering Artificial Intelligence by Alicia Solow-Niederman (Southern California Law Review forthcoming)
6. A Note on Human Welfare and the Administrative State by Cass R. Sunstein
