The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) has announced the appointment of Jonathan H. Adler as one of six new public members, marking a significant recognition of his contributions to the field of administrative law. Adler, who serves as the inaugural Johan Verheij Memorial Professor of Law and the founding Director of the Coleman P. Burke Center for Environmental Law at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Law, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this esteemed federal agency.
A Prestigious Appointment Reflecting Deep Expertise
Adler’s appointment to ACUS is a testament to his outstanding scholarship and expertise in administrative law, environmental law, and constitutional law. ACUS, an independent federal agency within the executive branch, is tasked with identifying and promoting improvements in the efficiency, adequacy, and fairness of federal administrative procedures. These procedures are essential for the effective operation of regulatory programs, the administration of grants and benefits, and the protection of public interests.
Expressing his honor at being appointed, Adler commented, “I am honored to receive this appointment and look forward to working with other members of the conference to enhance the administrative procedures upon which so many depend.”
Contributions to Administrative Law and Beyond
Adler’s scholarship in administrative law has been widely recognized, with his work being cited by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Ohio Supreme Court, and several federal courts of appeals. His deep understanding of the intricacies of administrative procedures and environmental regulations makes him an invaluable addition to ACUS, where he will contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve federal governance.
Dean Paul Rose of CWRU School of Law praised Adler’s appointment, stating, “We are immensely proud of Jonathan Adler’s appointment to the Administrative Conference of the United States. His selection to this prestigious body is a testament to his outstanding scholarship, deep expertise in administrative law, and his commitment to advancing thoughtful, effective governance. We take great pride in our faculty’s national and international impact, and his appointment is a reflection of the excellence we strive for in all that we do.”
A Leader in Legal Academia
In addition to his role at ACUS, Adler’s influence in legal academia is significant. A recent study identified him as one of the five most cited legal academics in the fields of administrative and environmental law. At CWRU, he teaches courses in administrative, environmental, and constitutional law, and his insights are regularly sought in these critical areas of public policy.
Adler’s appointment to ACUS underscores the importance of his contributions to the field of law and his commitment to improving the processes that govern federal administrative procedures. As he begins his two-year term, Adler is set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of administrative law in the United States.
