Administrative Law New Scholarship Roundtable

The Administrative Law New Scholarship Roundtable is an annual event, hosted by a rotating series of law schools, at which approximately 12 authors workshop their papers in a series of individual sessions, one for each paper, over the course of a day and a half. Each paper is introduced by a senior scholar who comments on the work and facilitates discussion of it with all participants. Papers are chosen by the multi-school organizing committee from a public call for proposals that is announced several months in advance of the event. To be eligible, authors must have less than 10 years of tenure-track teaching.

This year’s Roundtable was to be hosted in-person at Yale Law School on September 17–18, 2021. Due to University policy against in-person conferences due to COVID-19, the Roundtable has been converted to a series of virtual mini-workshops:
