ASLH 2024

Starting today, your Legal History Bloggers will be in San Francisco at the annual meeting of the American Society for Legal History, for which Karen served as co-chair of the Program Committee.  This year, we appear on the same panel, Foundations of the Modern Administrative State, at 3:00 tomorrow.  Karen will chair, and I will comment.  The papers and their authors are:

A Presidency of Statutes: Gilded Age Reform and the Roots of the Modern Executive (1868-1921)
Andrea Scoceria Katz, Washington University in St. Louis School of Law

The Progressive Origins of Centralized Administrative Review
Edgar Melgar, Yale Law School

The Lost English Roots of Notice-and-Comment Rulemaking
Rephael Stern, Harvard University/Harvard Law School

The Origins of the Major Questions Doctrine
Rachel Rothschild, University of Michigan Law

As in the past, we welcome otherwise unsolicited reports of sessions at the meeting, and we expect to post on the prizes announced there after the meeting concludes.
