Prof. Hickman Rumored To Be On D.C. Circuit Short List

Prof. Kristin Hickman was identified in an E&E News Greenwire article as a possible contender for a judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.  Administrative law cases dominate the D.C. Circuit's docket.  Prof. Hickman, who co-authors the Administrative Law Treatise and a textbook on federal administrative law, is a recognized expert on administrative law.  The article also noted Prof. Hickman's work on agency deference doctrine, including that Justice Gorsuch cited her work in an opinion last year.
