I am heartbroken to hear about the passing over the weekend of my good friend, mentor, and colleague in the field @UNLCollegeofLaw Professor Anna Shavers (@LawProfShavers): news.unl.edu/newsrooms/toda…
A quick 🧵 with some reflections on her life and its impact on mine:
A quick 🧵 with some reflections on her life and its impact on mine:
I first got to know Anna well when I joined the governing council of the @ABAAdLaw Section in 2015, and she had just completed her one-year term as Section Chair. I had met Anna before that, and her passion for #adlaw and #immigrationlaw was infectious.
Not to mention her smile and laugh. I sometimes wondered whether that was just her extroverted, public presence, but as I got to know her better, I realized that passion and joy were part of the core of who she was -- she sought to uplift and inspire.
I was so saddened to hear this morning that my good friend and fellow #adlaw nerd @UConnLaw Prof. Richard Parker passed away unexpectedly last week. today.uconn.edu/2021/10/in-mem…
Richard and I served together over the last few years on the @ABAAdLaw governing council, and he just completed his term as one of our two Section Delegates to the @ABAesq House of Delegates.
His final work in that role was to shepherd through an ABA resolution to encourage the Executive Branch to make it easier for federal civil servants to participate in the ABA and similar organizations. americanbar.org/content/dam/ab…
At 262 pages, Professor Klarman probably thought his @HarvLRev #SCOTUS foreword would be the longest law-related paper posted to @SSRN in August: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… 
Not so! @Aaron_L_Nielson has posted this amazing, 1,226-page compendium of his five years of @YaleJREG D.C. Circuit Review -- Reviewed series, along with an introduction reflecting on the court as an institution: ssrn.com/abstract=36740…
On a serious note, I want to thank Aaron for providing such an invaluable resource to the #adlaw and #appellatetwitter communities with his weekly @YaleJREG / @ABAAdLaw Notice and Comment posts on the D.C. Circuit.
Earlier this week the Justice Department released a report focused on how to modernize the Administrative Procedure Act (APA): yalejreg.com/nc/new-justice… Like most of the legislative #adlaw reform proposals in recent years, DOJ's reform efforts largely focus on agency rulemaking.
(FWIW, I've written more about the various legislative proposals, in an @AdLawReview essay by the same title as the DOJ report: ssrn.com/abstract=29621….)
Absent from most conversations about APA reform is agency adjudication. Yet the vast majority of regulatory actions today take place in adjudication, rather than rulemaking -- as we explored at the 50th annual @DukeLawJournal symposium earlier this year: yalejreg.com/nc/video-and-d…
