Editor’s Foreword

This is the twenty-first edition of Developments, an annual publication

intended to help administrative lawyers remain informed about changes in their

field. This volume covers five cross-cutting areas of administrative law in

depth. It also provides summaries of the most important developments in spe-

cialized areas of practice, and these specialized areas vary from year to year.

Each chapter in Developments is an authoritative work written by an expert or

team of experts in the field. All are members of the Section of Administrative

Law and Regulatory Practice (Section).

This edition covers the 2019 calendar year. My role as editor of Develop-

ments is to review the submissions, format the publication, and edit where

necessary. The real authorship of this work belongs to the nineteen individual

contributing authors of the nine separate chapters of this volume, who are

identified at the beginning of this work and in the first footnote of each chapter.

My personal acknowledgments follow this foreword.

The list of Developments chapters included here is also on the Section

website. Below I provide a brief introduction to each cross-cutting chapter.

This introduction is intended as an overview, introducing the themes of each

chapter, and is not comprehensive.

Edition twenty-one of Developments contains the usual five cross-cutting

chapters, as well as specialized chapters on Education, Intergovernmental Re-

lations, Veterans Law, and Securities, Exchanges, and Commodities. The en-

tirety of the eBook is available from ABA’s website, http://www.
