Things to Read This Week (5/19)

a casebook review, an investigation of a case you've never heard of, the history of rights regulation, and the interpretation of codifications

1. Pictures of a Revolution: Administrative Law in a Time of Change, by Shalev Roisman and Oren Tamir — a book review of how administrative law casebooks are confronting Loper Bright and other transformative decisions. Nice concept for a book review. (Also a reminder that the Michigan Law Review book review issue should be coming soonish.)

2. Universal Injunctions and Attorney General v. Vernon (Ch. 1684-1685/6), by Tomas Gomez-Arostegui. Narrow, technical, historical, but illuminating. (I can’t link to every interesting thing on universal injunctions, but Gomez-Arostegui is often interesting, especially when far outside my expertise.)

3. Infringed, by Daniel Slate. Just published in the Journal of American Constitutional History. Very interesting attempt to ground some of what I think of as principles of general law rights regulation in the constitutional text.

4. A Textualist Response to Two Texts: Positive Law Codification and Interpreting Section 1983, a student note by Grace Sullivan in the Yale Law Journal on what I would call the problem of “codifiers’ errors.”
