Application Deadline: ACUS Seeks Consultants on Administrative Law

August 18, 2011

The Administrative Conference of the United States is seeking requests for proposals for two new projects. The consultants selected for our projects are typically law professors. The benefits include modest payment for the work, access to the resources and contacts of the agency for research (most projects involve empirical research in the form of interviews with knowledgeable agency personnel), and a publishable work that has gone through our committee process. For administrative law professors, it’s a great opportunity to do some meaningful and unique research. The two projects involve (1) the Paperwork Reduction Act and (2) Review of Regulatory Analysis Recommendations. The application deadline is close of business August 18, 2011. Full announcement after the jump. Jump to full post
