Here is the March 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.

I’m guest-blogging over at PrawfsBlawg this month and on Monday we kick off a fantastic symposium here at Yale JREG on my co-blogger Peter Conti-Brown’s new book, so I don’t have the bandwidth to include brief comments for each piece per my standard practice. But here’s the top ten:
