This has been such a busy month on the administrative law front, with the end of the Supreme Court’s Term producing a lot of material for future law review articles. In case you missed it, I posted on SCOTUSblog the opinion analysis for PDR Network v. Carlton & Harris Chiropractic (the Hobbs Act case) and on this blog have a post on Kisor v. Wilkie (the challenge to Auer deference) and another on Department of Commerce v. New York (the census case).

It have also been a busy summer for adlaw scholarship on SSRN.  Here is the May 2019 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.
