Thank you and congratulations to our 2019-2020 Editorial Board.
The Regulatory Review would like to thank the members of the 2019-2020 Editorial Board for their hard work and dedication over the past few years. We offer our congratulations to them on their graduation from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
“Every year is a busy one for anyone who follows regulation. This past year has been no exception. Yet through it all, the members of last year’s editorial board worked diligently to continue this publication’s outstanding coverage of important new policy developments, legal decisions, research, and commentary,” noted Cary Coglianese, a professor at Penn Law and the faculty advisor to The Regulatory Review.
The current board offers this special feature on the day of Penn Law’s official graduation to honor and thank the 2019-2020 board members for making membership on The Regulatory Review’s staff so enjoyable. These editors have given exceptional guidance, patience, and commitment to the 2020-2021 Editorial Board. Their support, compassion, and kindness have not gone unnoticed, and we are so proud of all they have accomplished.
“Thanks to the past board’s leadership and teamwork, The Review implemented several important innovations in terms of internal management as well as new outputs and regular features for readers,” said Coglianese. “I celebrate their graduation, salute them for their many accomplishments in law school, and wish each of them all the best for continued success,” he added.
As our outgoing board members graduate from law school, we know that their futures are exceptionally bright—and we would like to take this opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments and highlight some of their work published in The Review. We have loved learning from them, sharing snacks with them, and, more than anything, getting to know them as colleagues and friends.
Congratulations and thank you!
