The Regulatory Review extends its thanks and best wishes to our graduating editorial staff.
The current board members of The Regulatory Review extend our best wishes and congratulations to all the 2024 graduates who have served as members of The Review’s staff, especially to members of the 2023-2024 editorial board.
As our friends and colleagues graduate from law school today, we are delighted to honor each of them and offer our sincere thanks for their many efforts to continuing The Review’s fine tradition of publication on all aspects of regulation and the regulatory process.
“The Review’s graduating board members have worked hard to keep this premier publication moving forward,” said Cary Coglianese, the Edward B. Shils Professor of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, where he serves as faculty advisor to The Regulatory Review and the Director of the Penn Program on Regulation, which sponsors The Review.
“The dedication, integrity, teamwork, and attention to detail that our graduating staff displayed in their production of The Review will serve them well in their careers as lawyers and leaders in society,” Coglianese noted.
“I congratulate all of our graduating students as I also offer my particular thanks to The Review’s outgoing Editor in Chief, Bryn Hines, and Managing Editor, Jackson Nichols, for their many hours devoted to the publication,” he said.
Today, as the law school at the University of Pennsylvania celebrates its 2024 graduation, The Review use this occasion to highlight for our readers sole-authored work by members of the 2023-2024 editorial board in this special commemorative graduation feature.
Best wishes, many thanks, and hearty congratulations to our new alumni of The Regulatory Review!
