October has been a busy month, with the annual ABA Administrative Law Conference starting tomorrow.  So I’m just now posting the September 2018 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. This is a terrific selection of new papers, and I unfortunately do not have time to annotate them per my normal custom. Next month for sure! Here’s the list:

1. Chevron As Law by Cass R. Sunstein (Georgetown Law Journal forthcoming)
2. Deference Conservation—FOIA’s Lessons for a Chevron-Less World by John Brinkerhoff Jr. & Daniel Listwa (71 Stanford Law Review Online 146 (2018))
3. Regulatory Bundling by Jennifer Nou & Edward Stiglitz (Yale Law Journal forthcoming)
4. Chevron Without Chevron by Cass R. Sunstein (Supreme Court Review forthcoming)
5. IRS Guidance—Rulemaking and Deference to IRS Statutory Interpretation by John A. Townsend
6. Corporate Bankruptcy Hybridity by Melissa B. Jacoby (166 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 1715 (2018))
7. Understanding State Agency Independence by Miriam Seifter (Michigan Law Review forthcoming)
8. The Claims of Official Reason: Administrative Guidance on Social Inclusion by Blake Emerson (Yale Law Journal forthcoming)
9. In Defense of a Little Judiciary: A Textual and Constitutional Foundation for Chevron by T.J. McCarrick (San Diego Law Review forthcoming)
10. Technology Regulation by Default: Platforms, Privacy, and the CFPB by Rory Van Loo (2 Georgetown Law Technology Review 531 (2018))

Thanks to my terrific research assistant Sam Lioi for helping put together this monthly post. I’ll report back at the start of November with the next edition.
