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/

(1) Hi y’all 👋 I’m on the academic hiring market this year!! I’m a PhD at Yale. My job talk is a timely piece of legal history exploring Myers, Humphrey’s Executor, and the future of the unitary executive (not in the news at all 😅). Happy to send a copy! My top five courses were con law, admin law, civil procedure, immigration law, and legislation.

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 ⬇️
Thanks, @legalhistory , for the mention!
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.

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!
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): ssrn.com/abstract=4519120
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.
Incredible addition to the @TAMULawSchool faculty
Now that is Leiter official, I can’t wait for the fall to have @NeilScottSiegel as a colleague @TAMULawSchool

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)

This @nyulawreview article reveals how #civilservants can check & limit presidential power through #collectivebargaining, challenging the traditional view of the executive branch as a strict top-down hierarchy.
