I'm excited that my next article, "The Administrative Law of McCarthyism," will be published in the Stanford Law Review. It explores how civil service law evolved in response to McCarthy era loyalty purges, and how courts drew on administrative law to fashion cs protections.

Excited to see this Article out in print at the @StanLRev . Many thanks to the wonderful editors there for their outstanding work!

Hi Folks! I wanted to share a 🧵about my JMP in @YaleLawJournal (now on SSRN). It reconstructs the law of officeholding in early US, arguing that it is inconsistent with the unitary executive theory. (1/

Hi! 👋 I'm excited to have a new draft article on Ex parte Young, inc. analyzing the doctrine in light of CASA. I argue that in limited circumstances like the challenge to Texas's then-unconstitutional S.B. 8 abortion ban, people should be able to sue (gasp) states themselves ⬇️

Thank you, @chris_j_walker! The @ABAAdLaw panel was a blast. I'm very excited for all of the fascinating scholarship and debate on agency adjudication to come!

[Chris Walker @chris_j_walker]

Speaking on @ABAAdLaw conference panel this morning on agency adjudication after Jarkesy, and I'm reminded how much I like Nick Handler's Separation of Powers by Contract: How Collective Bargaining Reshapes Presidential Power, 99 @nyulawreview 45 (2024): https://t.co/7QolxJkb0N

[Nicholas Handler @NHandler12]

True facts. Hopefully many more great hires to come!

.@TAMULawSchool has been assembling a terrific faculty in recent years, and kudos to them for recently attracting @NeilScottSiegel to join them. It's hard for a law school to really stand out from competitors with great faculty hiring, but @TAMULawSchool has certainly done so.

[Nicholas Handler @NHandler12]

@rationalcreatur Congrats!

[Nicholas Handler @NHandler12]

Incredible addition to the @TAMULawSchool faculty

[Vanessa Casado Pérez @vcasadop]

Now that is Leiter official, I can’t wait for the fall to have @NeilScottSiegel as a colleague @TAMULawSchool

[Noah Rosenblum @narosenblum]

Delighted to be in @TheRegReview “in depth” this morning on how to think about the civil service — my contribution to the Schedule F discourse.

It begins elaborating a realist defense of bureaucracy as the worst-besides-all-others way of doing popular sovereignty. (1/3)
