Really looking forward to this discussion. Join us!

As you wait for the decisions in Slaughter and Cook to drop, check out my essay with Bill Eskridge, The Unitary Executive and the Due Process State, now final in the Notre Dame L. Rev. Reflection: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

1/ I'm looking forward to my debate today with @jadler1969.bsky.social at @uvalaw.bsky.social Federalist Society's Rupe Debate on the Supreme Court’s emergency docket, moderated by the Hon. Chad Readler. I'll post my handouts below so you can follow. Youtube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtNd...

Excited that my new article, Resurrecting Immigration Releases, is out now in the Yale Law Journal! A huge thanks to the YLJ editors, who improved the piece in many ways, and to the folks who generously shared their thoughts and expertise along the way.

I'm delighted to share that this article will be published in the @yalelawjournal.bsky.social. As promised, I've posted the draft @ssrn.bsky.social: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

This new paper on the general law and statutory interpretation looks so interesting, looking forward to reading it! @aaronbruhl.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I'm still playing a teeny bit of catch-up, so here's the list of new work that was included in the January 2026 Comparative Administrative Law New Scholarship Corner: www.yalejreg.com/nc/comparati...

Coming soon to SSRN, Vacatur Within the Appellate Model of Judicial Review, an article that started as a small intervention into the vacatur debate but grew into the judicial review installment of my multi-year project on the Administrative Procedure Act.

The bad news is that I am egregiously late in posting the December 2025 Comparative Administrative Law New Scholarship Corner. The good news is that if you are stuck at home in the snow, you have a pile of terrific #adlaw scholarship to keep you warm! www.yalejreg.com/nc/comparati...

Attn junior admin law scholars--submit your abstracts by 2/27 for the annual new scholarship roundtable--a fantastic venue for getting feedback & making connections in the field--this year at Vanderbilt Law. Details at the link: www.yalejreg.com/nc/call-for-...

Submit an abstract by February 27 for the Eleventh Annual Administrative Law New Scholarship Roundtable! @vanderbilt.edu Law is hosting. Imho, it's one of the best events of the year. Details here: www.yalejreg.com/nc/call-for-...

Really pleased with how my #adlaw art wall is coming together. Clockwise from the far left: Florida East Coast Railway->Universal Camera->State Farm->Overton Park->Chevron->Columbia Broadcasting System

New to @ssrn.bsky.social: Bill Eskridge and I have posted The Unitary Executive and the Due Process State (Notre Dame L. Rev. Reflection, forthcoming). This essay explores what's at stake for administrative justice as the Supreme Court reconsiders Humphrey's Executor. Link below⬇️

Administrative law discourse seems to assume that if judicial review is available, regulated parties will always sue their regulators. But in fact, data on the rate of judicial review has long been unavailable. Until now, thanks to Nick Parrillo of @yalelawschool-yls.bsky.social! 🧵

Can you help me get the word out? We are having trouble reaching government attorneys due to the shutdown. This is 6 hours of CLE of FREE through the ABA. But you don’t have to be an attorney to sign up! Thread of topics we will cover:

Friday after dark and there are lots of leaf blowers running in the neighborhood.

Looking for some good weekend reading? Check out the October 2025 edition of the Comparative Administrative Law Scholarship Corner! www.yalejreg.com/nc/comparati...

📢 @tamu.bsky.social's Center on the Structural Constitution is honored to host @emilysbremer.bsky.social of @notredamelaw.bsky.social for the inaugural Reveille Lecture Wed Oct 29. Topic = Administrative Power After Humphrey's Executor. Open to the A&M Law community; 🌮 Torchy's Tacos lunch provided!

Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses.

A new paper from Philip Murray and me: 'In Defence of Classical Administrative Law'. We argue that the voidness of unlawful administrative acts is central to the rule of law and that recent challenges to that view can and should be resisted. publiclawforeveryone.com/2025/09/16/i...

Teaching hearing rights in administrative law like:

Since @orinkerr.bsky.social asked, a thread, from limited information reported online, about how I see the US attorney mess in DNJ. 1. Trump picked Habba as interim US Attorney under 28 USC 546. Technically, the AG is supposed to pick, but whatever. She gets 120 days to serve.

New at @lawfaremedia.org: I walk through the cases involving reductions in force (RIF) at the district courts and the Supreme Court. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/redu...

Out-of-context Louis Jaffe: “We might say that the federal common-law system is something like a one-clawed lobster or an antique and partially dismembered torso.”

K.C. Davis on Administrative Law (1951): “Injunction is the most common remedy in the federal courts and is generally satisfactory; its usefulness is increasing because it has been quietly sloughing off some of the traditions resulting from its equitable origin.”

In which I review GW Law Professor Emily Hammond's terrific new article, Agency Amici, which analyzes the practice of agency amicus briefs at this critical inflection point between the old and new regimes of judicial deference:

I’ve decided to decorate my home office with art related to major administrative law cases. First piece arrived today:

A characteristically thoughtful response to the Supreme Court argument over nationwide injunctions in the Birthright Citizenship case by Mila Sohoni. blog.dividedargument.com/p/guest-post...

Adlaw nerds: contemporaneous coverage of Humphrey’s Executor, as found in a homemade scrapbook of labor unrest from 1935 tucked away in the NLRB library. @jedshug.bsky.social @emilysbremer.bsky.social @tphillips.bsky.social @kexelchabot.bsky.social @charlottegarden.bsky.social

Second, there can be no lawful, meaningful deregulation that does not involve Congress. Congress writes the statutes that create our country’s regulations. The executive branch can shape regulations, but only on the margins. If you want major reform, you need Congress to change the laws.

Very excited about this new article by @jonpetkun.bsky.social & Joe Schottenfeld in the GW Law Review, "The Judicial Administrative Power"! Describes three functions of "nonadjudicatory activities" performed by federal courts: rulemaking, managing & communicating: www.gwlr.org/wp-content/u... 1/2

I struggle these days whenever someone asks me for my political affiliation. But if you really force me, I’d describe myself as a “Dropbox Independent." I'm full up and can't accept any new information, and I inform you of that every couple days, at inconvenient times.

What constitutional authority to direct the rescission of regulations? The executive branch doesn't even have rulemaking authority absent an act of Congress. Procedure is generally not a violation of Article II. There's no inference with the president's inherent authority here.

Looking forward to speaking today @stanfordlaw.bsky.social on the topic: “Is Administrative Law Just a Species of Constitutional Law?” law.stanford.edu/event/consti...

Curious about admin law in these uncertain times? Check out NDLS Prof. @emilysbremer.bsky.social’s article for the Yale Journal on Regulation, “Power Corrupts,” tracing the history of administrative law. Read it here:

So… @williambaude.bsky.social and I are extending the @dividedargument.bsky.social brand to a new medium: a blog/substack with a bigger stable of contributors. My first post, with reactions to the Smith & Wesson oral argument, is up! blog.dividedargument.com/p/reactions-...

This "immediate cancellation" violates the law. If the Admin thinks Columbia has violated Title VI by being deliberately indifferent to antisemitic harassment, it has to give Columbia a chance for a hearing first, make findings on the record, & wait 30 days. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Here's the abstract. It's a strange moment in which to describe any administrative-law content as fun, but . . . I think this one is kind of fun? In a disturbing way?

Beginning to think that the real ground zero of our current political moment was The Real World: New York.

How is Trump 2.0 Reshaping the Administrative State? Join us live on Zoom (penncareylaw.zoom.us/webinar/regi...) on March 26, or catch the recording on YouTube later, as I discuss with @cary-coglianese.bsky.social, Susan Dudley, Gillian Metzger, Ricky Revesz, and @chrisjwalker.bsky.social

In declining to enter a temporary restraining order (TRO) barring DOGE from accessing data systems at the Dept of Labor, CFPB, & HHS, Judge Bates actually delivered a blow to DOGE—though it may only be felt in other cases. A thread. ... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 1/9

Reminds me of the 5 guys (the G-5) creating DHS. From WaPo: "Falkenrath thought it would be nice to give [DHS] a research lab... He called up a friend & asked which of the 3 DOE labs... 'He goes, "Livermore." He did not realize...he had just decided to give [DHS] a thermonuclear weapon simulator."

Big case to watch—the Appointments Clause issue is the fundamental problem with Musk's actions (though of course there are plenty more).

The mail has been kind to me this week. So happy to see this in print. Thanks to the fantastic editors of the Virginia Law Review!
